Ann O'LoughlinSinger Rihanna is to ask the High Court to strike out some or all of the proceedings brought against her by an Irish woman over alleged "malicious falsehoods" in an email and a phone call. Dana Kavanagh (43), Woodbank Drive, Valley Park, Finglas, Dublin is suing Rihanna under the name "Robyn Fenty aka Rihanna", with an address at Lafayette Street, New York. The case was back before Ms Justice O'Regan today to deal with the matter of legal costs concerning that service application. Kelley Smith BL, for Rihanna, said a timetable for the progress of the main case had been agreed with Barney Quirke BL, for Ms Kavanagh. In her judgment, Ms Justice O'Regan said the rules of our superior courts gave the High Court discretion to declare service sufficient.
