Woman's damages claim against Conor McGregor to go before jury next month
Summary
A woman who filed a damages claim against mixed‑martial‑arts star Conor McGregor in 2021 is set to have her case heard by a High Court jury on 5 November. The claim alleges an assault that allegedly occurred in 2018 in Dublin and seeks compensation for personal injury. The High Court hearing was postponed twice after McGregor obtained adjournments to allow him to participate in a UFC comeback bout and later a boxing match, both of which were cancelled. The plaintiff's counsel, John Gordan SC, expressed frustration at the repeated delays, while McGregor's counsel, Remy Farrell SC, argued that the trial could not proceed during the fight period. The case will be heard by a judge and a jury during the civil jury sessions in November, with no details of the claim having been disclosed in open court. The allegations are fully denied by the defendant.
