The High Court made a pre-trial discovery order on 21 March 2022 in a Dublin woman’s personal injury claim against Conor McGregor and an associate. The claim arises from an alleged incident in December 2018. Ms Justice Emily Egan made the order.

An Garda Síochána must disclose specified investigation material to the woman and her lawyers, including statements, images, phone data and analysis results. The defendants’ lawyers are also to receive copies of the material disclosed to the plaintiff. Discovery was to be completed within 10 weeks.

McGregor strongly denies all claims of wrongdoing. The alleged incident had been investigated by gardaí, but the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution decided no criminal charges should be brought.

The discovery motion had previously been adjourned to allow discussions between the parties. No details of the woman’s claims had been aired in open court, the report said. Her mother had also brought a personal injuries action against McGregor; the allegations in that action were fully denied.
