Oil-spill cleaners secure freezing order against couple
Summary
Microclean Environmental Ltd, a specialist oil‑spill cleaner, obtained a temporary freezing order against directors Gal and Orit Brahami, claiming they owe €147,000 for work carried out in 2016 on a Dublin 4 property. The company alleges the couple are attempting to move assets out of jurisdiction to avoid payment. The High Court, on an ex‑parte basis, granted an injunction preventing the couple from dissipating or reducing assets below €147,000. Microclean says the work cost €192,000, with €147,000 outstanding, and that a settlement agreement was reached after the Brahami's negligence claim against the spill's responsible party was resolved and adjourned to July. The company has not received the balance after five years and fears the couple will remove payments from the jurisdiction. The case will return to court next week.
