Flatley wins case which sought to block show involvement
The Lord of the Dance Show creator Michael Flatley has beaten a legal bid to block his involvement in upcoming productions of the show.
An entertainment company had sought a court injunction to bar him from any role in a worldwide 30th anniversary tour of the show, due to get under way in Dublin next week.
The proceedings centred on a service agreement reached in July 2024, which Switzer Consulting Ltd claimed gave it all rights to run the multi-million pound production.
It sued the dancer, claiming he was in breach of an agreement for it to run the stage show.
Earlier this month the company obtained a temporary injunction blocking Mr Flatley from having any role after claiming he was putting future shows in jeopardy by direct interference with the business.
Michael Flatley rejected the claim, insisting that he retained 100% ownership of the rights.
In the Chancery Court in Belfast today, a judge dismissed the application for a full injunction, and removed the temporary injunction.
