Court adjourns bid to wind up construction firm P Elliott

THE High Court has adjourned for two weeks a petition seeking to have one of the country’s largest construction firms, P Elliott and Co Ltd, wound up.

The petition has been lodged by recruitment firm MCR Personnel, trading as the MCR group, which claims it is owed some €1.793 million.

Yesterday, Ms Justice Mary Laffoy was informed that the petition had not been advertised and the court was asked if the matter could be adjourned. The judge agreed to put the matter back to May 30.
