Designer drops Riverdance costume case
High Court action over as Jen Kelly reaches settlement with Riverdance production companies By Angela Sammon - 11/11/09
Irish fashion designer Jen Kelly has dropped his High Court action over costumes used in the Riverdance show. Mr Kelly has withdrawn claims that his designs had been used without his consent.
The designer had sued the Riverdance production companies owned by Moya Doherty and John McColgan and claimed that he had been 'airbrushed out of the history' of the world famous dance show.
He was seeking more than €800,000 in damages for breach of contract, claiming he had not been given the proper credit for his work.
However, the High Court was told that a compromise had been reached and the action could be struck out.
Mr Kelly’s lawyers said he acknowledged that his costume designs or copies were not used for any live performance after the end of 2001.
