Injunction in hotel suite case granted

An injunction preventing a man from occupying a suite he owns at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel at Powerscourt, Co Wicklow, has been extended at the High Court.

Yesterday, Mr Justice Peter Charleton granted the hotel’s owners, Sugarloaf Investments Property Holding Ltd and Sugarloaf Ventures Ltd an injunction preventing Eugene O’Connor from occupying the suite.

Last May, they obtained a temporary injunction after Mr O’Connor padlocked his suite and occupied it along with others. They claimed he was not entitled to do this and his actions had caused disruption.
