Summary

In a High Court ruling on 20 February 2020, Everyday Finance DAC and its receivers, Stephen Tennant and Nicholas O'Dwyer, were granted an injunction allowing them to take possession of a property at Avoca Park, Blackrock, Co Dublin. The injunction applies pending a full hearing of the action. The receivers sought vacant possession, claiming the property is subject to a mortgage secured by loans from AIB, now owed by the defendants. The defendants, Mr Paul White and his wife Ms Jane Gleeson, opposed the application, arguing the receivers' appointment was invalid and that Ms Gleeson had no debt and was entitled to rent benefits. The court found the plaintiffs' case strong and ordered the receivers to take possession, noting the property is occupied by about 15 people and that the defendants have not cooperated. The judge placed a stay on any sale of the house and adjourned the matter for a week before final orders are made.
