High Court refuses to grant injunctive relief to a dealer in farm machinery requiring a manufacturer to continue to supply machinery to it, on the grounds that the seller had failed to establish that there was a legally binding agreement with a three-year termination period, in circumstances where the alleged agreement was a "curious document" with limited detail, and that subsequent correspondence suggested that no binding agreement had been entered into.
Application for injunction - claim by seller of farm machinery against manufacturer - termination of franchise agreement - break down of trading relationship - agreement of 2013 - three-year termination clause - allegedly signed without authority of Irish subsidiary - requirement that manufacturer continue to supply machinery to seller - mandatory injunction - restraint on appointing a new dealer for certain counties - circumstances of drafting of alleged agreement - surrounding communications - whether damages would be an adequate remedy.
