Water meter installer fights alleged interference

The High Court has given a water meter installation company permission to serve legal proceedings on a number of people allegedly interfering with workers putting in the meters.

GMC Sierra Ltd claims its workers have been assaulted, intimidated and prevented from installing meters since the beginning of summer.

Yesterday, Mr Justice Paul Gilligan granted Jim O’Callaghan SC, for the company, permission to serve at short notice the company’s intention to seek contempt of court orders against eight individuals arising out of the protests.
