This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

Kinwest Ltd challenged the Residential Zoned Land Tax law in High Court proceedings reported on 23 October 2023, claiming it unjustly attacked its property rights. The challenge concerned decisions that the tax applied to three sites the company owned and wanted to develop at Auburn, Streamstown and Malahide, County Dublin.

Kinwest sought to overturn those decisions and asked the court to declare the law underpinning the tax constitutionally invalid. The report said the applications for permission to pursue the cases would return before the courts later in 2023.
