Michael Flatley's case against former solicitor over Cork mansion files to go to mediation

Legal row between the entertainer and his former solicitor erupted at the start of the year amid allegations on both sides about legal fees and an alleged hold on files

Michael Flatley is seeking to compel Maxwell Mooney and Company solicitors, with offices in Maynooth, Co Kildare, to hand over the files relating to the proceedings about and linked to his Cork mansion, Castlehyde, in Fermoy, Co Cork.

Mediation talks are set to begin in the next few weeks in Michael Flatley’s legal battle against his former solicitor.

The president of the High Court Mr Justice David Barniville on Friday welcomed the prospect of mediation in the case and said he would urge the sides to redouble their efforts to resolve the matter.
