Four men were arrested and brought before the High Court in Dublin on 26 May 2020 over alleged contempt of orders to vacate repossessed properties in Fairview. All four were released after giving sworn undertakings before Ms Justice Leonie Reynolds not to return to the property.

The men were Eamon Hunt, Dean Gilroy, Aleksander Jerzy Wianowski and Michal Grochowicki. Wianowski and Grochowicki said they had no idea there were issues concerning the premises and agreed to leave. The court was told their employer had arranged for them to stay in Co Meath.

In November 2019, the court ruled that Everyday Finance DAC was entitled to vacant possession of the buildings by 31 January 2020. Separate contempt proceedings against Jerry Beades remained adjourned; he denied breaching court orders concerning the property.
