Efforts are being made to resolve a dispute involving a south Dublin restaurant, the High Court has heard.
Mr Justice Paul Gilligan was told on Tuesday John and James McCabe, directors of the company operating The Gables restaurant and wine bar on Torquay Road, Foxrock, were involved in a stand-off with agents of the owner of the premises.
The McCabes are directors of McCabes Wine Warehouse Ltd, which has operated a restaurant and wine shop at the premises under lease since 2001.
The owner, Daphne Kaye, acquired the property in 1999.
Matthew Jolley, for Ms Kaye, told the judge on Tuesday agents acting for his client had attempted to retake possession of the building after the company failed to pay arrears of rent of some €379,000.
Ms Kaye alleged the McCabes were trespassing on the property and initiated proceedings for orders to have them vacate the premises.
Mr Jolley, for Ms Kaye, Tanglewood, Gordon Avenue, Foxrock, secured permission to serve short service of her proceedings against McCabes Wine Warehouse Ltd.
Yesterday, Mr Justice Gilligan agreed to adjourn the matter to tomorrow to see if the parties can resolve it.
