D3 head shop row settled as lease surrendered

A DISPUTE over a Dublin head shop has been settled after the High Court heard the operator agreed to surrender the lease on the premises.

The D3 Headshop, which sold so-called legal highs, opened on the Clontarf Road on St Patrick’s Day last having previously operated as a florists.

Last Monday, the court granted a temporary injunction to the owners of the premises Patrick and Alice Lynch, against their tenant Jeffrey Carey, prohibiting him from carrying on any business there other than as a florist/gift shop. The injunction also restrained him doing anything which would make the insurance on the premises void or voidable.
