Pete Taylor claimed the council was wrongfully trying to evict him and the club from the facility
The High Court has dismissed boxing coach Pete Taylor s bid for an injunction preventing Wicklow County Council from terminating his and Bray Boxing Club s legal interest in the premises used by boxers in the town for several years.
Mr Justice Senan Allen ruled that the company and Mr Taylor were not entitled to any order against the council, pending the outcome of the full dispute between the parties.
Mr Taylor, who is the father of Olympic and World Champion boxer Katie Taylor, claimed the council was wrongfully trying to evict him and the club from a facility, owned by the local authority, located at the Harbour Shed, Bray, Co Wicklow.
Boxing coach Pete Taylor has been refused an injunction he was seeking against a county council in a row over attempts to evict him from his boxing club premises.
Wicklow County Council changed the locks of the Bray Boxing Club facility following a fatal shooting there in 2018 during which Mr Taylor was also injured.
The coach, whose Olympic and world champion daughter Katie once trained there, has been involved in a legal dispute with the local authority ever since.
While an action in which he claims he and his business, Bray Boxing Club Ltd, are entitled to possession of the premises and damages for interference with its property has yet to be heard, the row escalated last November when the council issued a 30-day notice of eviction.
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 the town for several years, the High Court was told.
Mr Taylor, who is the father of Olympic and World Champion boxer Katie Taylor, claims Wicklow Co Council is wrongfully trying to evict him and the club from a facility, owned by the local authority, located at the Harbour Shed, Bray.
The council denies his claims and says he is not entitled to any injunction.
Mr Tayor and Bray Boxing Club Ltd, of which Mr Taylor is a director, seek an injunction restraining the council from terminating their legal interest in their possession of the premises in the absence of a properly obtained court order.
