Agreement's been reached in relation to disclosure of documents in the High Court against Netflix by Jules Thomas, the late Ian Bailey's former partner.
Her case against the streamer for its release Sophie: A murder in West Cork in 2021 contained “glaring inaccuracies, fabrications and falsehoods” she has alleged.
She claims those 'falsehoods' greatly impacted how she was treated in her local community in west Cork and that her emotional, mental and physical state was also in turmoil.
She claims she never signed a location agreement during the making of a documentary focusing on the murder of the late Sophie Toscan du Plantier, to whom Bailey was considered a suspect.
She brought proceedings against Netflix Inc, producers Lightbox Media Ltd, and director John Dower, also claiming that filming on her property invaded her privacy.
On December 23rd, 1996, French film producer Toscan du Plantier, was found beaten to death outside her holiday home in Schull.
Mr Bailey, who died nearly a year ago of a suspected heart attack, was the self-proclaimed main suspect in the murder investigation.
A report by the DPP, which was scathing in its criticism of Garda investigative techniques and practises of the time, ruled out a prosecution of Mr Bailey amid insufficient evidence.
Attempts to extradite him to France to face a murder trial flopped repeatedly. Ultimately a French court held a trial in absentia, convicting Bailey of her murder in 2019.
He always denied any involvement. The pair parted ways in 2021 and a year later Ms Thomas brought her case, claiming her creativity as an artist was damaged as she was financially.
Demand for her work disappeared, she added. The defendants deny the claims.
