Cyber firm sued over resignation

The High Court was informed of a controversy surrounding the alleged resignation of an executive at a cyber security education firm. This occurred when Metacompliance Ireland Ltd, the firm in question, was sued by Mairead Cosgrave, its former Senior VP of Product and Operations.

According to Cosgrave, her job termination violated natural, constitutional justice and fair procedures. She successfully obtained an immediate court order last Friday, halting her dismissal until further hearings take place on her unilateral application by her legal representatives.

Metacompliance’s counsel, Padraic Lyons SC, called for a swift settling of the restraining order in court on Thursday. Lyons argues that the agreement reached last Friday hinders his client from finding a replacement for Cosgrave or recruiting new staff until further directives are provided. Lyons stated that Metacompliance insists that Cosgrave left her post by mutual consent, a claim challenged by Cosgrave and necessitating an imminent legal ruling.

Further, Metacompliance prepared several legal statements to emphasise the integral point that Cosgrave’s employment ended due to mutual agreement, which she had informed “a number of her colleagues.”

In response, Cliona Kimber SC, representing Cosgrave, sought extended time to counter the defendant’s legal declarations.
Subsequent to a brief intermission, the presiding judge, Justice Mark Sanfey, was informed that both parties had mutually agreed on a timeline to swap legal statements. The judge indicated that further hearing of the case could be scheduled for late November.
