Occupiers must vacate "Barricade Inn" within 14 days, court rules

Summary

At the High Court on 20 January 2016, Mr Justice Paul Gilligan granted an injunction to the owners of the former Neary's Hotel, now called the Barricade Inn, requiring all occupants to vacate the premises within 14 days. The injunction was sought by Mary Bergin, executrix of the late owner Ellen McGuill, and Vandelure Ltd, the freehold holder. The property, vacant since McGuill's death in 2002, had been used as a café and social club since March 2015. The court was informed that Vandelure had appointed two new directors, resolving earlier concerns about the company's ability to seek the injunction. Mr James Cleaver, the sole person to appear, consented to the injunction on the condition of a two‑week stay and no costs order. The injunction compels Cleaver and all others to leave, hand over possession, remove belongings, and prohibits re‑entry until the full action is heard.
