The High Court has heard Goal chief executive John O’Shea has settled a case against the aid agency.
2 weeks ago Mr. O’Shea secured a temporary injunction stopping the charity from suspending him.
Lawyers for John O’Shea went to court earlier this month claiming there had been ‘concerted action’ to remove him from Goal which he founded back in 1977.
The court was told the chief executive rejected as ‘false’ and ‘concocted’ complaints against his behaviour and allegations of a culture of ‘institutionalised bullying’ at the aid agency.
He was granted a temporary injunction stopping his suspension but it expired nearly 2 weeks ago and his lawyers did not apply for it to be renewed.
Today the court was updated that the case can be struck out as the parties have come to a mutually acceptable agreement.
No other details of the settlement have emerged but Goal has announed that Mr. O’Shea will retire from his role as CEO at the end of August.
