Judgment reserved on injunction to stop eviction of Pete Taylor's boxing club

The proceedings were brought after the council changed the locks on Mr Taylor's boxing club after three people, including Mr Taylor, were shot at the gym.

Wicklow County Council has told the High Court that boxing coach Pete Taylor is not entitled to an injunction preventing it from terminating his and Bray Boxing club’s legal interest in a premises used by boxers in Bray town.

Mr Taylor, who is the father of Olympic and World Champion boxer Katie Taylor, claims the council is wrongfully trying to evict him and the club from a facility, owned by the local authority, located at the Harbour Shed, Bray, Co. Wicklow.
