A legal action in which the company operating Dublin’s Morrison Hotel is being sued for €3.7 million in alleged unpaid rent has been adjourned by the Commercial Court following “useful” discussions between the sides.
On the basis of the progress made in talks, Mr Justice Frank Clarke yesterday agreed to adjourn the proceedings by Martin Ferris, the receiver appointed by Anglo-Irish Bank to businessman Hugh O’Regan’s Thomas Read Holdings, against The Morrison Hotel Ltd.
The case was due to come before the court today via an application by the receiver for summary judgment for €3.7 million against the hotel company, but Rossa Fanning, for Mr Ferris, said yesterday he wanted an adjournment given the useful progress made in discussions.
