"Unknown" party trying to pass themselves off as company behind online car parts retailer Mick's Garage, court told

Summary

Crean Solutions Ltd, which operates the online car parts retailer MicksGarage.com, brought proceedings before the High Court alleging that fraudulent documents have been lodged with the Companies Registration Office by an unknown third party. The company, established in County Mayo twelve years ago and now based in Dublin, claimed the filings purported to appoint an unknown person as a director, remove an existing director, and alter the registered address. Counsel for the company told Mr Justice Paul Gilligan the filings appeared designed to misrepresent an unknown party as the legitimate company. The firm has also reported receiving an unsolicited invoice for goods it did not purchase. An investigation by An Garda Síochána is underway. The company sought High Court orders directing the Registrar of Companies to remove the filings. Mr Justice Gilligan granted liberty to serve short notice on the Registrar and adjourned the matter to later in December.
