Lord of the Dance star Michael Flatley has launched further legal action aimed at overturning a judge’s decision that the dispute between him and his former insurance company over a €30m claim on his Cork mansion policy should go to arbitration.

Lawyers for the former Riverdance star this week lodged an appeal with the Court of Appeal seeking to set aside the referral of the matter by High Court judge Mr Justice Michael Twomey to out of court arbitration.
