UK company alleged to have fraudulently claimed ownership of Dublin office block
Summary
In the High Court, owners Michael O'Shea and Eithne Uí Riordan of ADT House, Crossguns Bridge, Dublin 7, are suing UK-based SLGI (Holdings) Plc for allegedly fraudulently claiming ownership of the office block. The plaintiffs allege SLGI unlawfully registered itself as proprietor and terminated a lease with tenant ADT Ltd, receiving €246,000, despite never being the lawful owners. While proceedings against third parties ADT Ltd, American District Telegraph Services International Ltd, and the Property Registration Authority (PRA) have been settled, the case against SLGI remains active. Counsel Stephen Dowling SC informed Mr Justice Brian O'Moore that the dispute with the ADT parties and the PRA was resolved, with no fraud alleged against those entities. The owners previously secured an order rectifying the land registry to remove SLGI as the registered owner. SLGI's solicitors intend to bring a motion in April to come off record. The court agreed to adjourn the matter to April to allow for the implementation of the settlement. The case against SLGI was not concluded and remains pending.
