Dentists resolve "toxic" dispute
Summary
In a High Court case involving two dentists who shared premises at Market Point, Mullingar, the dispute was settled after both parties withdrew all allegations. Dr Michael Maguire had alleged that Dr James Hiney installed a secret camera to surveil his staff, while Hiney claimed the camera was for security and not for spying. Maguire sought injunctions to prevent Hiney from monitoring his employees. Following a second mediation, the parties agreed to strike out the case. The settlement included a statement that both dentists withdrew all claims of improper conduct, acknowledged that Hiney's CCTV was not intended to surveil Maguire or his patients, and that any contact with patients was not for solicitation. No further details of the agreement were disclosed. The case was dismissed by the court.
