Stateline refused stay on order to cease storing shipping containers
Summary
In a High Court hearing on 13 November 2023, the court refused to grant a 12‑month stay on an injunction that required Stateline Freight Limited to stop storing shipping containers on land owned by Tesco Ireland Limited at Compass Distribution Park, Santry. Stateline had argued that an immediate cessation would cause a catastrophic economic impact on freight businesses and that it needed time to secure alternative sites and planning permission. The judge, Mr Justice Garrett Simons, found no discretionary basis for a stay, citing the lack of planning permission and the deliberate nature of the breach. He gave Stateline six weeks to remove the containers and noted that any temporary planning permission would be a matter for the planning authorities, not the court. The decision will be revisited later in the month.
