A High Court action brought by a bank-appointed receiver over a Dublin city centre building where a “squat party” was arranged in the face of efforts to take possession of the building has been resolved, a court has been told.
Lawyers for Seán McNamara, who is the receiver over 31 Mountjoy Square East where the proposed party was due to take place, said the residents had agreed to vacate the property by the end of August.
Last week Mr McNamara’s lawyers sought a High Court injunction preventing the social media advertised party, scheduled for the bank holiday weekend, from going ahead.
Mr McNamara also sought orders against several individuals who, it was claimed, reside at the property, seeking vacant its possession .
The residents previously told the High Court that the proposed event, which was to comprise “two stages of the biggest sounds in drum and base reggae, jungle, dub and psychetrance”, had been cancelled before proceedings were initiated and did not go ahead.
When the matter returned before the High Court yesterday, Mr Justice Paul McDermott was informed by Rory Mulcahy, for the receiver, that the property would be vacated by the end of August.
He said the residents had consented to leave the building by then and the matter could be adjourned for mention only in early September.
