A recent case (Last Bus Ltd (trading as Dublin Coach) v Dawsongroup Bus and Coach Ltd [2022]) has provided a useful reminder of the circumstances in which commercial parties may exclude.
Developer Gerry Gannon is entitled to judgment for €2.18m rent against a company which operated a car park for Dublin Airport passengers on lands in Santry owned by the builder, a High Court judge has ruled.
Mr Gannon initiated proceedings last year against Parkfly Ltd and Last Bus Ltd, both companies controlled by transport entrepreneur John O’Sullivan.
He sought orders for possession of the car park premises against both defendants and a summary judgment order for €2.18m rent against Parkfly in respect of its 2019 lease for the premises.
Parkfly operated the car park premises under two leases granted in 2014 and 2019.
