Lord of the Dance star Michael Flatley is embroiled in another legal battle in the High Court — this time with his former solicitor. The Flatley side is also seeking an order compelling Mr Mooney, with an office at Maynooth, Co Kildare, to provide a copy of the Flatley client account. Mr Creed stated that it was unclear whether €290,000 had been applied as fees or whether they remain held on account. This, Mr Flatley alleges, is impeding the orderly progression of his litigation. Mr Creed said extensive correspondence was exchanged with Mr Mooney, and Mr Mooney wrote that his office was “exercising a general lien” over all files and papers relating to Mr Flatley until "we and counsel are paid in full”.
