Group HR manager’s action against bookseller resolved

A HIGH COURT action brought by the group human resources manager with booksellers Eason against his employees has been resolved.

Earlier this month, Terry Duggan secured an interim High Court order restraining the company removing him from his post or appointing someone to a differently named position to what the company had described as a new position of “director of human resources and change management” which he had claimed was essentially his.

Yesterday at the High Court, following discussions between the parties, Mr Justice John MacMenamin was informed by Peter Ward, counsel for Mr Duggan, that the matter had been settled. However, no details of the settlement were revealed in open court.
