Sacked hotel manager settles case

A hotel manager who sought a High Court injunction preventing his dismissal has settled his High Court action.

Declan Moriarty, general manager of the Kilkenny River Court Hotel, claimed he was summarily dismissed in breach of the hotel’s own procedures on February 3 last.

He sought a High Court order against Neville Hotels Ltd, trading as the River Court, and against William Neville and Sons, preventing his purported dismissal. Last week Mr Justice Paul Gilligan granted permission to Mr Moriarty to serve the proceedings at short notice on the defendants.
