Summary

In a High Court ruling, Ms Justice Teresa Pilkington granted a permanent injunction to Fun2see Learning & Activity Centre Limited, preventing landlord Pargo Properties One Limited from re‑entering or taking possession of Unit 21, Ashbourne Retail Park, Co Meath. The injunction, originally granted in September, remains in force until the full hearing of the landlord‑tenant dispute. Fun2see, which employs 32 people, disputes a €1.48 million rent arrears claim issued by the landlord after a notice of forfeiture. Fun2see argues it has always paid a reduced rent of €1,500 per week, a figure it claims was agreed orally in May 2012 and has not increased since. The court noted that no agreement was reached on the arrears and that the injunction is appropriate pending the full hearing, which is scheduled for March. The injunction also bars the landlord from interfering with Fun2see's business operations.
