The estate of John Bailey secured a temporary High Court injunction against spraying weedkiller on 23 June 2020, in proceedings heard in Dublin. The estate brought the case against Francis Tiernan over 100 acres at Castlewarden on the Dublin-Kildare border.

The order was granted on an ex parte basis by Mr Justice Michael Quinn after evidence that the land was due to be sprayed. The judge adjourned the matter to early July; the estate also indicated it would seek orders concerning alleged trespass and use of the property.
