Dublin City Council seeks to bring Grant Thornton receiver before court
Summary
In June 2020 the Dublin City Council (DCC) brought court proceedings against Mr Stephen Tennant, the receiver appointed by Grant Thornton for three Seville Place properties. The DCC sought the receiver's attachment and possible committal to prison after the receiver failed to enforce High Court orders that required the residents of the three "firetrap" buildings to vacate. The High Court had earlier issued injunctions in October 2019, ordering the residents of 100, 101 and 104 Seville Place to leave immediately and keep the buildings vacant until fire‑safety deficiencies were remedied. The DCC argued that the receiver's refusal to vacate the premises, despite offers of alternative accommodation, led to continued occupation and anti‑social behaviour. The court granted the DCC permission to serve short notice of the proceedings and adjourned the matter to later that week.
