Nightclub security debt can be offset against injury claims, High Court rules

A Dublin hotel owner is entitled to set off a €51,435 debt to its nightclub security firm against a potential €100,000 bill for four injury claims against it, the High Court has ruled.

Russell Court Hotel owner, Triglen Holdings, is entitled to set off the debt to the company which previously provided it with security for the hotel and nightclub, P&B Security Services, now in liquidation, Mr Justice Garrett Simons said.
