Judge Quirke ruled former tenants were entitled to legal costs of just over €3,900 plus VAT after their ‘unlawful eviction’ from a rented property in Dublin 1
Landlord Marc Godart: Domestic and EU-wide enforcement proceedings have been before the court on five occasions since April and he 'did not pay until it was dragged out of him'.Landlord Marc Godart will have to cover a legal bill of some €4,000 after he “dragged out” the payment of compensation to two former Dublin tenants for 19 months, a judge has ruled.
However, they had to take enforcement proceedings before Judge Marie Quirke as the payment remained outstanding until July 18th last, the end of a court-imposed deadline. In February of last year, the court directed Mr Godart to comply with the RTB ruling that Ms Jere and Mr Buchanan were entitled to the damages after their “unlawful eviction” from a rented property on Emmet Street, Dublin 1.
Last month, Ms Lizet Peña-Herrera received compensation from Green Label Short Lets, a property company directed by Mr Godart. The Bolivian psychologist won an order in the District Court for payment of an RTB award, adjudicated in December 2022. The RTB had ordered Green Label Short Lets to pay €15,433 to her because of her illegal eviction from a house on Vintage Court, Cork Street, Dublin 8. However, the award went unpaid until she took a case in the High Court.
