Dublin couple can’t stop receiver taking over house

A receiver is entitled to an injunction preventing a couple from interfering with him taking over a house in Sandymount, Dublin, where the family have lived for the last seven years, the High Court has ruled.

Ms Justice Deidre Murphy ordered Con and and Pamela Creedon, of 131 Tritonville Rd, not to interfere with or obstruct receiver Ken Fennell’s efforts to take over their home and they should also hand over keys, alarm codes and locks to the property.

The judge found a loan agreement, whereby the Creedons borrowed €4.5m from EBS, was a commercial one and did not attract the protection of the Central Bank’s Code of Conduct on Mortgage Arrears.
