The judge said there was a fundamental failure to provide an appropriate opportunity to the Irish landlords to make representations to UK creditors meeting.

Two Irish landlords of the liquidated Monsoon business have won a High Court challenge in which they claimed their leases to the women’s fashion stores remained in full force here despite a UK creditors arrangement.

Apperley Investments Ltd, Tailwind Investments Ltd, and Martina Investments Ltd were landlords to the former Monsoon store in Dublin's Grafton St. RESAM Cork UC and RESAM Properties Ltd were landlords for the Monsoon store and the Accessorize store, both in St Patrick's Street, Cork.
