Vogue Williams sues dental clinic

Brian McFadden’s estranged wife, Vogue Williams, has brought a breach of contract claim in the Circuit Civil Court against a Dublin dental clinic.

Her claim, which is limited to €38,000, is against the Seapoint Clinic Ltd, Seapoint Avenue, Blackrock, Co Dublin, and is listed for trial in court on January 13. The clinic has denied it had been in breach of an alleged agreement with her and is making a counter claim. Ms Williams claims that in January 2012, she had an agreement with the clinic for dental treatment which included the replacement of a temporary crown, the fitting of braces and veneers, and cosmetic treatment, for an agreed sum just under €7,000.

In public documents seen by this reporter the model claims she had sought to have the treatment carried out for her wedding (to Mr McFadden) in September 2012. She claims she had also agreed to do an interview with an Irish newspaper or magazine and a video testimonial promoting the clinic.

Ms Williams, of Howth Lodge Apartments, Claremont Road, Howth, Co Dublin, alleges that after having provided the clinic with the agreed publicity, it had sought full payment for the dental procedures.

Ms Williams further claims that between January and June 2012 she had fulfilled her publicity undertakings and alleges that a breach of contract arose when the clinic then sought payment for the treatments.

Seapoint Clinic, which has delivered a full defence and counter claim to Ms Williams’s proceedings, alleges she failed to attend a number of appointments which she had failed to cancel and, as a result, the clinic had been put to expense and costs.

The clinic claims Ms Williams still owes them more than €5,000 for treatment.
