Legal notice lifted from valuable Dublin development sites

Summary

In a High Court decision on 16 July 2021, Mr Justice Brian O'Moore lifted a Lis Pendens that had been registered over three Dublin development sites: Glebe House and Lands on St Agnes Road, Crumlin; Annesley House, Rathmines; and the former Europa Motors site on Newtown Avenue, Blackrock. The notice had been placed by builder Mr Johnny O'Loughlin and Mount Pleasant Development Ltd (MPD) against Mr Michael Moran and several companies in which he is a director. The plaintiffs claimed the Lis had stalled development plans, including financing, sales of over 20 units in Annesley Gardens and a joint venture for 150 apartments in Crumlin, and had also impacted plans for 100 apartments in Blackrock. The defendants, represented by Garry McCarthy SC, sought to vacate the notice, arguing it was not bona fide and had hindered their development objectives. Mr O'Moore agreed to grant the defendants' request to vacate the Lis Pendens, with full reasons to be given later.
