Dutch firm failed to supply 1 million face-masks, High Court told
Summary
Uniformal Ltd, a Dublin‑based clothing supplier, obtained a freezing order against Taurus Gemini Real Estate BV (Gemini Group) of Bergen, Netherlands, after the Dutch firm failed to deliver one million protective face‑masks. Uniformal had agreed to pay €250,000 in advance and a further €250,000 upon delivery, with the masks to be sourced from China and delivered in late April. The masks never arrived; Gemini initially cited poor quality of the original consignment and proposed a replacement batch, which Uniformal rejected and demanded a refund. Correspondence in May indicated Gemini promised delivery on 10 May and 22 May, but the masks remained missing and the €250,000 was not refunded. Gemini allegedly provided false customs clearance documents. Uniformal seeks an order to recover the €250,000, declarations of breach, and damages, and has lodged a Gardaí complaint while an investigation proceeds.
