Glendalough food operator granted injunction

The operators of a business selling food and beverages to visitors to Glendalough have launched a High Court action after a rival allegedly parked a van directly in front of their premises, resulting in its closure.

James and Margaret Stakem, who operate a business from a facility that contains sheds and portable buildings for food preparation in an outside seating area at the Upper Car Park, secured a temporary injunction preventing Wicklow County Council or its licensees from operating within 10m of the Stakems’ premises.

The court also ordered the defendants or its licensees not to use waste disposal bins or any other equipment belonging to the Stakems at the Upper Car Park site.
