James McGarry secured an interlocutory injunction in the High Court on 12 December 2017, restraining receiver Tom O'Brien from dealing with two properties in County Sligo.

The court found fair questions remained about the validity of Mr O'Brien's appointment and the powers granted under the deed of appointment. It also held that damages would not adequately protect the property rights of James and Louise McGarry, and that the balance of convenience favoured the injunction.
