The case was brought by Jennifer O'Carroll, chief operations officer of Limerick-based software group, HansaWorld, who had sought orders against the company lifting her suspension as director and company secretary and to stop alleged interference in her role as COO.

It had been claimed that HansaWorld chief executive Karl Bohlin had been primarily concerned with his love life and finding a girlfriend

Limerick-based enterprise resource planning and customer relationship management software group, HansaWorld, previously gave an undertaking not to take steps to dismiss its chief operations officer Jennifer O'Carroll pending further order, but she claimed the company was now seeking to remove her as secretary.
