Judgment reserved in water charge protest case

The High Court has reserved judgment in the case of seven water charge protesters facing jail or a fine if found to be in contempt of court regarding the obstruction of water meter installation.

The court spent much of yesterday listening to affidavits and viewing footage, which a meter installation company says shows the six men and one woman breaching a court order.

The court was told the seven Dubliners had previously been ordered not to go within 20 metres of contractors installing water meters and not to interfere with the entrance and exit of the company’s vehicles.
