Michael Flatley has “fully secured” control of the Lord of the Dance, bringing an end to a legal dispute over his involvement in the production’s 30th anniversary tour.

A settlement agreement was reached in the High Court of Justice in Belfast on Wednesday, which stated the 67-year-old choreographer will “operate and run” the shows “solely” through Switzer Consulting Ltd “or a subsidiary of that company”.

Switzer, a Co Down based company, was granted a temporary injunction in January that blocked Flatley’s involvement in the planned worldwide tour.

Two years ago, both parties struck a formal service agreement that allowed Switzer to run the production.

The row over control of the show has sparked legal actions in Belfast, Dublin and London.
