Hearing Or Decision

Summary

An injunction application by the owner of the printing business Reads, operating a retail outlet on Nassau Street, has been presented to the High Court. Reads, trading as O'Flaherty's (Nassau St) Limited, seeks orders against Setanta Centre Unlimited Company, the landlord of the building in which its premises are located. The landlord is redeveloping the building at a cost of €150m over two years. Reads alleges that the landlord has arranged a temporary access route for customers but now intends to erect hoarding that would block that route, rendering the premises inaccessible. The landlord denies the allegations, claiming it has accommodated the applicant and that the obstruction is for health and safety reasons. The injunction would remain pending the full hearing of the dispute. The case is before Ms Justice Mary Rose Gearty.
