Judge urges settlement of Moore Street restaurant row
Summary
In a High Court hearing on 3 July 2014, Mr Justice Paul Gilligan urged Stella Esemuede and her landlord, Parnell Street Project Ltd, to settle a dispute over rent at a Moore Street restaurant. Esemuede, who has run her business since 2009, claims she was forced out after the landlord doubled her rent from €1,500 to €4,000 without her agreement, citing a new lease. She says the landlord cut off gas and electricity and she was evicted. The landlord denies wrongdoing, stating that the rent was never doubled and that Esemuede had paid €1,500, which did not cover service charges. A temporary injunction was granted to prevent anyone other than Esemuede from occupying Unit 3. The judge called for the parties to reach an arrangement and warned that if they fail, he would rule on keeping the injunction.
