A shareholder in a software company established to help people with hearing issues has claimed before the High Court that the firm has been damaged due to the “irrational, unfair, wholly unfounded and oppressive” actions of comedian John Bishop.

In one of the actions, which was mentioned before Ms Justice Eileen Roberts on Monday, BAK claims Mr Bishop has set Hears on a course for “its dissolution and demise”.

Those proceedings, BAK adds, are an attempt to “intimidate and bully” BAK and Mr Morrissey into “walking away from Hears”. It is claimed that Hears’s main shareholders are Mr Bishop and BAK, a technology development company, with each holding 42.5 per cent of shares. Mr Mullen, Joseph Bishop and GF Portfolio Ltd, which are notice parties to the oppression proceedings, each hold 5 per cent of shares, it is claimed.

He said his solicitor Mr Landers has sought clarification from Mr Bishop on certain matters, including Mr Morrissey’s removal from being a director of Hears in May 2022. Mr Bishop denies any wrongdoing, saying company law has been adhered to and that Kleara does not use any assets of and has no relationship with Hears.
