Tense stand-off at Foxrock restaurant
Summary
In a High Court hearing on 8 July 2014, Mr Justice Paul Gilligan heard a dispute between the directors of McCabes Wine Warehouse Ltd, John and James McCabe, and agents of the property owner, Ms Daphne Kaye, over the restaurant The Gables on Foxrock's Torquay Road. The McCabes had been leasing the premises since 2001 but had failed to pay rent arrears of about €370,000 dating back to 2007. A forfeiture notice was served in mid‑June, after which Ms Kaye's agents took possession, changed the locks, and forced open the rear door, damaging it. The McCabes and five men returned, and the restaurant staff remained on the premises, creating a "tense stand‑off." Ms Kaye seeks an injunction to order the McCabes to vacate and to prevent further damage or obstruction. The judge granted Ms Kaye permission to serve short service of proceedings and made the case returnable to Wednesday for the McCabes' version of events.
