The owners of a four-star hotel in South Wales earmarked for housing asylum-seekers have secured a temporary High Court injunction limiting the activities of protesters objecting to the plans.
Gryphon Leisure – which owns the Stradey Park Hotel & Spa in Furnace, Llanelli, Dyfed – asked a judge in London to impose an “urgent interim injunction” in a bid to prevent trespass and obstruction at the property.
Judge Roger ter Haar KC concluded at a hearing on Thursday that there was a “very strong chance” the hotel would not be able to “exercise its own property rights” and granted the injunction until late January next year.
