Andrew Fried’s shareholder dispute over Claddagh Jewellers was adjourned in the High Court, reported on 30 October 2019. The proceedings concern claims that his brother Philip Fried interfered with the family jewellery business, allegations that are denied.

The adjournment followed mediation by retired Judge Paul Gilligan, after the parties reached a resolution in principle. Counsel said several steps remained before the dispute could be finally resolved, and the court agreed to adjourn the proceedings for a month.
