Father and son motor trade row resolved

A High Court dispute involving firms involved in the motor sales trade owned by a father and a son has been resolved.

Last week, the High Court granted Duffy Commercials Ltd and Ultimo Ltd, whose founding director and shareholder is Arthur Duffy, a temporary injunction against his son Desmond Duffy, otherwise Dessie, trading as Dessie Duffy Cars & Commercials.

Lawyers for companies owned by Arthur Duffy said the action was brought because Dessie Duffy and his firm have been incorrectly passing themselves off as part of his father’s business.
