The judge, however, awarded costs against Mr McGregor, after lawyers for Ms Hand argued it had been necessary for them to bring the application.
The judge who presided over Conor McGregor’s civil rape case says he is “perfectly content” with the MMA fighter’s sworn statements in relation to CCTV evidence.
Nikita Hand’s lawyers had sought an injunction refraining him from sharing or publishing the footage, which was shown to a jury during Ms Hand’s successful lawsuit.
On foot of a social media post by a business partner of Conor McGregor’s, Nikita Hand became concerned that CCTV footage shown during her successful legal action would appear online.
With that in mind, Mr J Alex Owens directed the MMA fighter not to disseminate the evidence; and to delete it from his devices.
In response, Conor McGregor swore an affidavit, insisting he hadn’t shared it with anyone, and assuring the court that he complied with its directions.
However, Ms Hand’s barristers raised concerns about his bona fides, and applied for a permanent order to ensure compliance.
McGregor’s barrister said there was no basis to the application, accusing the other side of just, “trying to keep the controversy alive.”
In any event, the judge decided there was no need to grant an injunction because he was “perfectly content” with Mr McGregor’s sworn statements.
The judge, however, awarded costs against Mr McGregor, after lawyers for Ms Hand argued it had been necessary for them to bring the application.
The judge said he would reluctantly make the costs.
