Language school landlord denies threatening to change locks
Summary
In a High Court hearing on 26 April 2022, the landlord of a Dublin premises housing Liffey College, a language school with over 600 students, denied threatening to change the building's locks. Mr Paul Dormer, one of the landlords, represented himself and stated he had never threatened to alter the locks and had offered an undertaking not to do so. He also claimed an email had been sent confirming the locks would remain unchanged. The case arose from a rent dispute, with the school leasing the first floor and attic for four years and ten months at €160,000 per year, and arrears of about €80,000. Mr Haseeb Ahmed, the school's director, had secured a temporary injunction fearing the landlords might lock the premises, but the judge accepted the undertaking and postponed any ruling on legal costs. The landlords also contest the validity of a receivership placed on the property. The matter remains pending.
