""I'd just like to say thank God, I'm delighted with the judge's decision today. "I won't be in the car 10 seconds and I'll be calling all my dancers, all of the cast and crew. "All their families have flown in and we're going to lift the roof on Thursday. "This will be the greatest version of this show that you will ever see. "I'm absolutely delighted.""
"Earlier in the week Gary McHugh KC, for Switzer, had said the injunction was necessary to protect Switzer's interests because Flatley's financial situation would have left him unable to pay damages. The legal dispute hinges on a terms of service agreement under which Flatley transferred intellectual property rights for Lord Of The Dance to Switzer and they in turn were then required to provide business management services to Flatley such as accounts and payroll."
Mr Justice Simpson discharged a temporary injunction that had been secured against dancer and choreographer Michael Flatley at the Chancery Court in the Royal Courts of Justice. Switzer Consulting had taken civil action alleging breach of contract over an agreement to run Flatley's dance shows. Flatley said he was delighted with the decision, blessed himself and promised to call the cast immediately, saying the coming show would be the greatest version ever. The Lord Of The Dance 30th anniversary tour plays Dublin's 3 Arena on February 5 and continues across Europe and the US in 2026. The legal dispute centers on a terms of service under which Flatley transferred intellectual property rights to Switzer, who were then required to provide business management services including accounts and payroll, and Switzer argued the injunction was needed because Flatley's finances might leave it unable to recover damages.
