Apperley Investments Limited & Others v Monsoon Accessorize Limited [2020] IEHC 523

The Commercial Court has refused to apply the provisions of a Company Voluntary Arrangement (“CVA”), negotiated pursuant to the Insolvency Act 1986 in the UK, to Irish landlords as it would be “manifestly contrary to the public policy of the State”.

These proceedings were taken by Irish landlords over properties in Dublin and Cork leased to the fashion retailer Monsoon.

The Third Parties (Rights against Insurers) Act 2010 received Royal Assent on 25 March 2010. The Act modernises the Third Parties (Rights against Insurers) Act 1930 by streamlining the procedure by which a third party claimant can recover compensation from the insurer of a defendant.
