TV doc’s proceedings vexatious, court told

Derek Richardson, Irish businessman and owner of English rugby team Wasps, is to ask the High Court next Monday to throw out injunction proceedings brought against him by TV doctor Nina Byrnes.

Barrister William Hamilton, counsel for Mr Richardson, told Ms Justice Deirdre Murphy yesterday that Dr Byrnes had failed to make full and frank disclosure to the court last week when she obtained the injunction.

The High Court order restrains Mr Richardson and two other defendants, Pearl Health Limited and its director David Johnson, Killiney Hill Upper, Killiney, from interfering with her operation of a medical clinic at Glenageary Shopping Centre.
