DCU to Host National Moot Court Competition 2016

By way of background, you may know of Trisha Roles? In any event Trisha Roles is a famous actress who is the lead character in a popular Irish television drama. The 7th season of Villagers was filmed in Ruansville, a sleepy town in County Carlow.

The Production Company, EPS Productions booked Ms. Roles a room in a local B&B. The B&B is run by Joanne Jeffers. EPS Productions ensured that Ms. Jeffers signed a non-disclosure agreement which provides at Clause 3 that;

“Joanne Jeffers contracts not to disclose any information regarding the presence and/or activities of Trisha Roles and/or her personal guests to any person and/or company.”

Unfortunately, Trisha and Joanne struck up an unlikely ‘friendship’ and engaged in sexual relations during the long nights in the B&B, despite Trisha being famously married to Andy Star of HotStop, a very successful band.

Being a small town, the rumour mill started pretty quickly about the unlikely liaison. Newspapers were in the driveway of the B&B the following morning. The Daily Galaxy rang Ms. Jeffers and offered her €5,000 for the inside scoop on the affair and despite the non-disclosure agreement she accepted. The Daily Galaxy then rang Trisha and asked her for comment on the story. Trisha rang me/her lawyers immediately. I/They drafted a plenary summons and a notice of motion seeking injunctive relief. I have attached both pleadings. An interim injunction or interlocutory injunction is not necessary, as The Daily Galaxy have agreed to an early hearing date. So, it’s a full prohibitive injunction that is being sought. I/They believe that the article will breach Ms. Roles’ Right to Privacy under the Constitution, that is really the central issue in the case.

I now need you to draft the submissions (/memorials) for the injunction and run the injunction on 12th November 2016 at the Criminal Courts of Justice.
