GP gets injunction restraining landlord from taking possession of clinic
Summary
Mr Justice Oisin Quinn granted Dr Fiona Grant an interim injunction at the High Court, restraining Gradual Investments Limited from repossessing the medical clinic premises at The Village, Stepaside, Dublin 18. The case, involving Dr Grant and Tuesday Dr Grant as applicants, was adjourned to a date later this month. The dispute centres on alleged unpaid rent, interest, and service charges claimed by Gradual Investments, which acquired the unit in 2015. Dr Grant denies these claims, asserting that she has consistently paid rent in advance except for one instance in March 2020 during the pandemic. She contends that Gradual Investments is not entitled to forfeit the lease, which she entered into in 2009, particularly while her defence to a summary judgment application for over €140,000 remains pending. Counsel for Dr Grant argued that the landlord's issuance of forfeiture notices, with the latest set to take effect on October 18, was unjustified. The judge noted that Dr Grant had raised a serious question requiring trial and that maintaining the status quo was in the interest of her patients. Both parties were granted permission to return to court before the adjourned date if necessary.
