Michael Flatley is suing several parties over alleged damage to his mansion in Co Cork
Michael Flatley said he had been purchasing insurance policies from Hiscox Société Anonyme since 2019 and at no stage was an arbitration clause specifically negotiated or brought to his attention. Photograph: Tom Honanis battling an attempt by the former insurer of his Co Cork estate to have his multimillion court action against it over alleged damage to the property referred for out-of-court arbitration.
In the main Commercial Court proceedings, Mr Flatley claims he and his family had to vacate the period property in October after toxic chemical residue was detected during routine maintenance. “I say that at no point did I agree to waive any of my rights to seek legal recourse via the Irish courts and I say the arbitration clause is an unfair term,” he said.
He said that with Riverdance and as the creator of Lord of the Dance he has filled some of the largest venues worldwide.
