Dispute over Galway medical clinic admitted to fast-track list
Summary
In a dispute over the management of a Galway private medical clinic, Blackrock Medical Partners (BMP) Ltd, controlled by Dr Joseph Sheehan, has brought proceedings against Marpole Ltd, the beneficial owner of Galway Clinic Doughiska, and its majority shareholder Parma Investments Ltd, an entity linked to businessman Larry Goodman. BMP, which holds 25% of Marpole, alleges that Parma has orchestrated oppressive and abusive behaviour towards BMP. The company seeks a declaration that Marpole's affairs and directors' powers are being exercised oppressively, and requests orders for Parma to either buy BMP's shares in Marpole or sell its shareholding to BMP. BMP also seeks consolidation of this action with two other related cases to save court time. The case was admitted to the fast‑track commercial court list by Mr Justice Brian McGovern, who encouraged mediation, and Dr Sheehan expressed willingness to engage further in mediation. The matter is scheduled to return to court later this month.
