The injunction taken against Michael Flatley is an attempt "to control and demand and dictate what happens in relation to Lord Of The Dance", a court has heard. He said the second affidavit raised "new issues, but issues that are very relevant" because they "will speak to the credibility and reliability" to do with how Mr Flatley "manages his finances". He told the court: "Mr Flatley agreed by this agreement to license to Switzer certain intellectual property rights of Lord Of The Dance. He later added: "Switzer is saying, 'we require an injunction to stop Mr Flatley exercising any control' in circumstances where Switzer is nothing more than a management agent entitled to a fee." Mr Dunlop further claimed Switzer filed new accounts on Saturday, increasing its value based on Lord Of The Dance intellectual property.
