High Court grants order preventing building firm from being wound up

AN order preventing a mechanical engineering firm from petitioning to have a building firm it claims owes them money from being wound up has been granted.

Yesterday at the High Court, Mrs Justice Mary Laffoy granted McCabe Builders and McCabe Builder Dublin an interim injunction restraining Erneside Engineering from presenting a petition to the High Court to have the building contractors wound up.

The court also granted an order restraining Erneside from publishing details of any such petition that may already have been presented. The orders were granted on an ex-parte basis, and the judge made the matter returnable to later this week.
