Woman’s High Court action against mixed martial arts fighter was filed three years ago
Conor McGregor: Action against professional fighter is due to be heard before a jury and presided over by a judge of the High Court. Photograph: Stuart C Wilson/GettyA woman’s lawyers have accused mixed martial arts star Conor McGregor of playing “ducks and drakes” with the High Court regarding the hearing date of an assault claim against him.
The matter, which is due to be heard before a jury and presided over by a judge of the High Court, was briefly mentioned before Mr Justice Alexander Owens. Counsel said that, by seeking to adjourn the case, Mr McGregor was “playing ducks and drakes with the court”. The judge noted Mr McGregor’s side would probably be seeking an adjournment of the June hearing date when the case is next mentioned before the court.The judge, who encouraged the various parties to engage with each other on the pretrial applications, added he was of the view that seeking the discovery of materials by the defendant was something that should have been done “years and years ago” and the defendant was “the authors of their own misfortune” in this regard.
