Munier in court over deal to ‘buy out’ his Pichet share

A dispute over the implementation of the deal to buy out Masterchef co-presenter Nick Munier’s shareholding in Pichet restaurant in Dublin has come before the High Court.

After a mediation process, terms of settlement of legal proceedings brought by Mr Munier relating to the operation of Dillmel Ltd, the company running the Pichet restaurant at Trinity Street, Dublin, were agreed but have not been implemented, Mr Justice David Keane was told.

Mr Munier’s proceedings, brought under Section 205 of the Companies Act, were against Frank Gleeson, Marie Gleeson, Pichet head chef, Stephen Gibson, and Sean Hawkshaw, and related to matters including disputes concerning the holding of shareholdings and directorships in the company.
