Mexican restaurant claims its being defamed by Deliveroo
Summary
In a High Court claim, Gastro Grub Limited, trading as Tuco's Taqueria in Galway, alleges that Deliveroo has defamed it by listing the restaurant as closed, not accepting orders, and busy on its website and app. The restaurant, which opened in 2015, had ended its partnership with Deliveroo in 2016 over commission disputes and entered an exclusive delivery agreement with another firm. Director Aonghus O'Flaherty says the false listings caused customer confusion and harmed the business's reputation. He has requested the court to issue injunctions preventing Deliveroo from using the restaurant's name, logo, or presenting itself as a delivery agent for Gastro Grub, and to remove all references to Tuco's Taqueria from Deliveroo's platform. The judge granted short‑notice service ex‑parte and adjourned the case to June.
