Summary

The owner of a protected Dublin building, Kodasen Ltd, has taken the High Court to stop demolition works on a neighbouring property being developed for social housing. Kodasen, represented by Lydia Bunni BL, claims that the works at 84 North King Street – known as 'Malthouse Court' – could damage the structural integrity of its five‑storey building at 85 North King Street. The owner cites concerns over proposed piling works that may lack proper support, and water damage alleged to have occurred during summer demolition. Kodasen asked the defendant, Cooperative Housing Ireland Society Ltd, to halt certain works until a compromise was reached, but was informed that no undertaking would be given. The case was adjourned for a week after the defendant pledged not to carry out any works until the next hearing. The judge urged joint expert inspections to address all concerns. The proceedings remain pending.
