Court Undertakings Secure Dublin Lord of the Dance Show With New Set and Costumes

The arrangement bars Switzer from interference or press statements, preserving the tour schedule during ongoing litigation.

Overview

  • A Guernsey-based supplier must deliver a replacement stage set and costumes by 5pm Wednesday for Thursday’s 3Arena performance.
  • Mr Justice Gerald Simpson discharged an emergency injunction after both sides agreed undertakings in the Belfast High Court.
  • Switzer is prohibited from obstructing Michael Flatley’s use of the show’s intellectual property or issuing statements that could prevent the show.
  • Flatley says €500,000 has been lodged with a solicitor pending a further hearing expected in about two months.
  • The core dispute concerns a 2024 service agreement that Switzer says granted touring control, which Flatley maintains he validly terminated.
