Dublin<\/a>-based IMK Law, had submitted to the court he went to his rental property on Main Street Ongar Village, in west Dublin, last February, for a \u201cpeaceful and voluntary handover\u201d of the property.<\/p>\nHowever, tenant Muhammad Amjad, a father of six, represented by RNL Solicitors, alleged Khan arrived at the rental property accompanied by eight other individuals and carrying a hammer. Khan denied that he had been carrying a hammer.<\/p>\n
The case was taken by Amjad against Khan and his company, IMK Property Investment Ltd, over an allegedly unlawful eviction action.<\/p>\n
Before the case opened on Tuesday, the judge suggested they might \u201cregret\u201d the decision to take the case to the High Court and suggested the matter would be suitable for mediation. He told them there would be a \u201creputational aspect\u201d to the case, which would have involved witness testimony.<\/p>\n
Khan\u2019s barrister, Alan Cormack, had submitted his client\u2019s primary concern on the day in question was the \u201csafety and welfare\u201d of Amjad\u2019s children and other residents of the complex.<\/p>\n
The property needed to be vacated so works could be safely carried out, and IMK Property determined the tenancy should be terminated due to the \u201cextensive nature\u201d of the repairs, he submitted.<\/p>\n
Ercus Stewart, for Amjad with David O\u2019Brien, said his client had wished any lease termination regarding his family to be done \u201cproperly\u201d and had immediately contacted rental watchdog Threshold and Fingal County Council about an alleged unlawful eviction.<\/p>\n
Amjad submitted that Khan, upon an alleged forcible entry to the property on February 28th, then issued \u201cexplicit threats to strike me if I did not vacate within three minutes\u201d. He claimed his children were \u201cvisibly traumatised\u201d after witnessing the incident. He said his wife, who was sleeping, was awoken by shouting.<\/p>\n
Amjad said Khan and IMK Property had issued a purported notice of termination of the lease but claimed it was invalid and not initially communicated.<\/p>\n
Khan and IMK Property submitted the plaintiff\u2019s claims were \u201cextremely serious and entirely untrue\u201d, causing \u201cconsiderable stress and reputational damage\u201d.<\/p>\n
Khan submitted that no incident was reported to garda\u00ed about the events of February 28th. He claimed an inspection on behalf of Fingal County Council in February 2025 found the property was not compliant with regulations and needed a gas safety check and carbon monoxide and smoke alarms installed.<\/p>\n
He claimed the tenants, living there since 2013, were properly served with notice of lease termination and there was no \u201ccoercive or intimidatory campaign\u201d, as alleged by Amjad.<\/p>\n
Upon hearing of the written agreement between both sides today after hours of negotiation, O\u2019Connell said \u201csanity has broken out\u201d and agreed the matter to be adjourned to October.<\/p>\n
Outside court, through his solicitor, Reza Nezam, Amjad said he was \u201cdelighted\u201d with the settlement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A judge said \u201csanity has broken out\u201d when a tenant who alleged he was threatened during an attempted…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":589635,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[40],"tags":[9,10,52,18,13,14,10410,6,10476,19,17,11,12,15,16,5,36783,7,8],"class_list":["post-589634","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-dublin","tag-eire","tag-featured-news","tag-featurednews","tag-fingal-county-council","tag-headlines","tag-high-court","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-latest-news","tag-latestnews","tag-main-news","tag-mainnews","tag-news","tag-threshold","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116932655608365195","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589634","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=589634"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589634\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/589635"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=589634"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=589634"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=589634"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
