Basketball club resolves action

Summary

St Vincent's Basketball Club in Dublin secured a temporary High Court injunction that halted a 30‑day suspension imposed by the Dublin Men's Basketball Board (DMBB) on its activities and teams, including underage squads. The injunction was granted ex‑parte by Ms Justice Leonie Reynolds. The suspension, which was to begin on 13 January, was linked to the club's registration of several adult players. When the case returned to the High Court, Anthony Thuillier BL for the club said the parties had reached a resolution and the case could be struck out. The judge welcomed the settlement, though no details were disclosed. The club claimed the suspension was "draconian," breached fair procedures and Basketball Ireland's rules, and would harm its 100 players across 11 teams. The suspension has been lifted pending the outcome of an appeal against the DMBB's decision.
