A shareholder in a software company set up to help people with hearing difficulties has claimed before the High Court that the firm has been damaged due to the "irrational, unfair, wholly unfounded and oppressive" actions of well-known British entertainer John Bishop.

The claims have been made by Maltese-registered BAK Holdings Limited which says that its interests as a shareholder in Hears Technology Limited are being oppressed by Mr Bishop, who is a shareholder and a director of Hears. Other shareholders in Hears include Mr Bishop's son, Joseph Bishop, and U2 drummer Larry Mullen.
