A legal action by the wife of singer Van Morrison over alleged interference with privacy at her Dublin home as a result of works at a neighbour’s house has been settled, the High Court heard.

THE judge hearing an action related to the privacy of the home of singer Van Morrison and his wife yesterday urged efforts be made over the weekend to move on the case which is set to go into its fifth day even though it was scheduled to take just two.

Directors at Morrisons are threatening to quit over chairman Ken Morrison’s continued failure to appoint a new chief executive, it was reported today.
