Carl Frampton To Take Action Against Barry McGuigan In NI
Boxer Carl Frampton has won his legal challenge to have a case against his ex-manager and promoter Barry McGuigan heard in Northern Ireland.
The former world champion and McGuigan are counter-suing each other after they ended their partnership over money.
In a statement Frampton's lawyer John Finucane said: "The Court agreed with our argument that Mr. Frampton had a right to have his cases heard here in Belfast, and importantly was first to correctly issue and serve proceedings before a court.
"Whilst the evidence remains to be tested, and we acknowledge that this will happen expeditiously, we note the questions and comments of the court in the judgment.
"We were surprised that, during the course of the jurisdictional dispute, Mr. Barry McGuigan chose not to give any evidence. We will now prepare and look forward to the fact that Mr. Barry McGuigan, and other members of the McGuigan family, will be required to come to Belfast and give evidence in court under oath.
"My client Carl Frampton has always sought a fair, reasonable and successful outcome to this dispute, and whilst he continues to enjoy a highly successful career we will now focus on bringing all outstanding matters before the court at the earliest opportunity."
