Dunnes seeks injunction against Mr Price
Summary
Dunnes Stores has taken the High Court to stop rival retailer 'Mr Price' from selling groceries from a unit next to one of its Carlow outlets. The claim is that the sale breaches a restrictive covenant in lease agreements for units at Barrow Valley Retail Park, Sleaty Road, which Dunnes and the landlord Camgill Property Ltd say were designed to keep the park's anchor tenant, Dunnes, as the sole supermarket. The plaintiffs allege that Mr Price began selling food and groceries last month, violating the covenant, and that both Dunnes and the park's management asked the defendants to stop. Mr Price offered to cordon off food items pending a resolution but argues the covenant cannot be enforced. The court granted the plaintiffs an ex‑parte notice to serve the defendants and adjourned the case to a date next week.
