Judge directs Web Summit to disclose certain records sought by minority shareholders

Web Summit, through its holding company Manders Terrace, and Paddy Cosgrave, deny posts by him and Ditch Media caused damage to the business.

Web Summit must disclose various documents sought by two minority shareholders in support of their separate claims that the firm has been damaged by social media posts chief executive Paddy Cosgrave made in the wake of Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel, the High Court has ruled.

Web Summit co-founders Daire Hickey and David Kelly sought further disclosure of records in their separate cases against the firm and co-founder Mr Cosgrave alleging oppression of their rights as minority shareholders.
