According to Bray Wanderers' current owners, the High Court injunction was taken in order to prevent financial and reputational damage to the club.
If this wasn't so tragic, you'd have to laugh.

All you zombies tweet tweet tweet.
"three individuals from representing themselves in an official capacity on behalf of the club."
I would imagine that the wording of this is not just aimed at the Deering "takeover" but also something to do with the "hacking"? of the club website story that was doing the rounds last week. The "EGM?" was advertised briefly on the club website and then promptly taken down and replaced with a post saying " that rumours of an EGM are false"
Actually, the clue (which I missed earlier, as well) was in the word "Removal". That could only take place at an EGM called for that purpose, according to Section 149 of the Companies Act 2014 - and the supposed EGM, which didn't specify such a purpose, wasn't in any case due to take place until two days later than the filing.
Guns being jumped all over the place, it seems.
S146, not S149. As you say, the directors "resigned" before the EGM. And in any event, the EGM notice wasn't long enough to call for a removal of directors anyway, so it couldn't have dealt with the matter.
So if Deering has simply gone and signed a form saying they resigned, and appointing himself as director, he could be in quite a bit of trouble. It'd be no different to me going down the CRO now with a form appointing myself as director and removing him.
The Indo has a bit more detail on this this morning
So adding two and two (and maybe coming up with five), it seems Deering appointed himself and removed the other four as directors (as per the B10, which he shouldn't have signed), and then presumably used this form (or the CRO records - same thing) to say he was taking over the club on match day.Last Saturday, counsel said, the game between Bray and Derry City was put in jeopardy when Mr Deering arrived at the ground with a group of others, including Mr Lennon and Mr Quigley, and with two gardai.
Mr Deering represented himself as a director and said he was taking charge of the club's affairs with immediate effect. He claimed that four directors had been removed from the Bray Wanderers company.
Following conversations involving the gardai, the League of Ireland and the FAI, Mr Deering and the others agreed to leave. The game against Derry proceeded.
However counsel said Mr Deering has also given a number of interviews to media to say that he would be taking charge from Monday July 13. Counsel said Mr Deering is not a director nor has he any authority to take charge.
Bray Wanderers Ltd chairman Denis O'Connor said in an affidavit that Mr Deering, of Kilgobbin Road Stepaside, Dublin, is a former director and a small shareholder in the company (with 2.26 per cent)
Mr O'Connor said previously Mr Deering, who said he represented a Northern Irish Company, approached the club concerning a proposed development of offices, retail units and a football stadium.
The proposal was not deemed feasible by the company, Mr O'Connor said. He said Mr Deering continued to communicate with him in a manner he described as "bordering on harassment."
Did a bit of searching on this Deering fella and came up - rather surprisingly - with a post on here, which doesn't really reflect well on him.
The problem with the whole process of what is going on is nobody will come out and truthfully say these are our plans for the club / ground etc. If the best interests of the club are at the heart of things just come out and say it.
There is a lot of information out there in the public domain and some conspiracy theories. It is time to put it all to bed and lay the cards out on the table.
None of the sides involved in what is going on are doing themselves any favours (apart from one group who were involved at the start of the season but seem to have taken a step back and not got involved in any of the recent messiness) - I'm not including anyone trying to get monies owed in any of the above....
I am seriously worried there is some truth to the rumours that the club is being deliberately run into the ground for the sake of a property deal. Even if it's not, the most likely explanation is the club is being deliberately run badly in order to massage some gombeen's ego, which is almost as bad.
Hi Guys,
So it's just been announced that Gerry Mulvey owns 80% of Bray wanderers now.
What insight can you give us into his time at Pats?
Cheers,
Tip.
According to Dodge on Twitter, he tried to move Pats out of Richmond and over to Tallaght. For me that's very interesting considering all the rumours regarding Bray moving elsewhere!
Got involved when Pats were in the ****s financially. Left with Pats still in the ****s financially.
In between he helped put out a few fires and talked of selling Richmond and moving to Tallaght.
His statement said he left Pats when they were top of the league but they had finished 7th in the 2006 season. Kelleher came on board in that off season (through meeting the Pats chairman, not Mulvey).

Bad news for Bray this all but confirms its a land grab.They will out of the Carlise & in a new ground on the edge of town within five years.
Or sharing with Shams. Their ground is already in Wicklow.
I'd say it will be within two years. Site already been earmarked according to reports. Bray has 14 years left on the lease to the Carlisle Grounds so would have to be paid off to leave early.
If they actually came out and said this was the case and showed the plans maybe it would be better for Bray with a proper stadium and all weather training pitch which seems to be proposed.
This individual was heavily involved with Pats when we were set to move to SDCC stadium as co tenants with Rovers until Mr K saved the day its no coincidence that the same person gets involved with Bray at this current time.
This isn't the high court its a football fans forum imo this individual isn't getting involved with bray for football.
