Pete Taylor's injunction bid over boxing club premises is dismissed
Summary
In March 2021, a bid by boxing coach Pete Taylor and Bray Boxing Club Ltd for an injunction to stop Wicklow County Council from terminating their claimed legal interest in the Harbour Shed premises in Bray was dismissed. Mr Justice Senan Allen ruled that the applicants had no enforceable proprietary entitlement to the premises and that the council was within its rights to evict them. The court noted that the lease expired in 2015, that the applicants had only licence agreements thereafter, and that the council had changed the locks following a 2018 shooting that killed one club member. The judge found no evidence that the applicants would suffer catastrophic loss if the injunction was denied and that the applicants had abandoned most of their reliefs. The case was adjourned for the parties to consider the decision, with no costs order imposed pending the full dispute. The council maintains it had no obligation to the club or Mr Taylor.
