Hugh Kavanagh withdrew his bid to have his brother Greg committed for alleged contempt of court at the High Court on 28 November 2023.

The wider dispute continues, with Hugh seeking injunctions against Greg and related companies. The judge said on 28 November that the injunction application was likely to be heard in January.

Hugh and Simlur Ltd have returned to court over alleged failures to comply with a settlement agreement. Hugh’s claims include that assets are being stripped and unsanctioned payments are being made; Greg rejects the allegations.

The judge set a further timetable for exchanging affidavits and adjourned the proceedings. Both sides said they wanted the matter heard as soon as possible.
