Dunnes secures injunction preventing Mr Price from selling food

The judge was not satisfied to make an order preventing an outlet trading under the 'Mr Price' brand from selling any product that could be defined as a 'grocery' from the store

Dunnes Stores claimed the sale of food products and groceries, from a Mr Price store next door to one of its outlets, breaches a restrictive covenant contained in lease agreements for units at the retail park

Dunnes Stores has secured a High Court injunction preventing a rival retailer from continuing to sell food products, but not groceries, from a unit at a retail park pending the outcome of the full hearing.

Mr Justice Senan Allen today said he was satisfied to grant the injunction preventing Mr Price from selling any food products from its outlet at the Barrow Valley Retail Park, Carlow.
