Summary

Monica Loughman, a celebrated Irish ballet dancer, has obtained a High Court injunction to stop former partner Fraser Brown from ending her employment or winding up the Monica Loughman Ballet Company Ltd, which she founded in 2011. Brown, who served as the company's business and finance manager, allegedly refused to leave the business after their personal relationship ended in 2014, despite an agreement that he would no longer be involved. Loughman claims Brown's continued control has damaged her reputation and made it impossible to maintain customers and deal with creditors. She also alleges he removed key assets, including a dance floor and "Nutcracker" sets, and sent letters threatening to terminate her employment. The court granted temporary injunctions preventing Brown from interfering with Loughman's work, the company's property, or winding up the company, and the case is set to return in August.
