Court to rule on Visteon eviction Court backs Visteon eviction bid
(about 6 hours later)
The legal attempt to evict the former workers of Visteon from the west Belfast factory will be heard later. An eviction order has been granted against former workers occupying the Visteon car parts factory in Belfast.
The workers have staged a sit-in at the plant since being made redundant in March. Administrators KPMG went to the High Court seeking authorisation to force out those staging a sit-in at the plant since being made redundant in March.
So far the attempt by administrators KPMG to gain an order to have them evicted has been adjourned twice. At the weekend, workers voted to accept a redundancy deal but said they would stay in the factory until the money was in their bank accounts.
The workers accepted redundancy terms but said they will stay in the factory until the settlement is ratified and the money is in their bank accounts. Mr Justice Deeny granted the order following two adjournments.
Two hundred employees have been involved in the sit-in. Almost 600 jobs were lost at Visteon's three plants in the UK - 210 at Finaghy in Belfast - with staff being given less than an hour's notice.

The eviction order now means the administrators can go to the Enforcement of Judgments Office if they want to act on it.
