Developer Hugh Kavanagh no longer seeking orders that could have seen brother Greg jailed
Summary
In a High Court hearing on 28 November 2023, developer Hugh Kavanagh announced that he had withdrawn the part of his application that sought to have his brother Greg Kavanagh attached and committed to prison for alleged contempt of court. The withdrawal was described by Hugh's counsel as a distraction from the main issues. The brothers remain in a legal dispute over a 2020 settlement that ended a claim that Hugh had been removed as director of 19 companies. Hugh Kavanagh and his company Simlur Ltd continue to pursue injunctions against Greg Kavanagh and several related companies, alleging breaches of the settlement, asset stripping and unsanctioned payments. The court has set a timetable for further affidavits and scheduled the injunction hearing for January 2024. The case remains ongoing.
