The musician was hit with a lawsuit from bosses at Irish promotions com pany MCD after he reportedly pulled out of a show at Dublin’s Croke Park in June 2008 just 10 days beforehand.
The star’s legal team agreed to settle the case out of court at a heari ng in Dublin, Ireland last month (Feb10), with details of the agreement k ept private.
But MCD bosses took the star back to court alleging he failed to hand o ver the settlement sum following the February (10) hearing.
The case returned to Dublin’s High Court on Friday (26Mar10), when a ju dge ruled against Prince and made the details of the agreement public in a bid to force the star to comply with the ruling, according to the Irish Times.
