Overview
- Mr Justice Simpson dismissed Switzer Consulting’s bid for a further court order and discharged the temporary injunction that had barred Flatley’s involvement.
- The ruling turned on the judge’s view that monetary damages are an adequate remedy for Switzer and that funds are available to satisfy any award.
- Switzer argues a July 2024 service agreement granted it worldwide rights to run and commercially exploit the show, a claim Flatley contests.
- Flatley’s side told the court about roughly €500,000 held by a Dublin solicitor, which the judge noted in assessing the adequacy of damages.
- The tour is scheduled to open in Dublin on 5 February before more than 260 performances across Europe and North America, as the underlying civil claims continue.
