Vogue Williams sues dental clinic over breach of contract claim

The Dublin clinic claims Williams still owes it over €5,000 for her dental treatment.

MODEL AND DJ Vogue Williams has brought a breach of contract claim in the Circuit Civil Court against a famous Dublin dental clinic.

Her claim, which is limited to €38,000, is against the Seapoint Clinic Ltd, Seapoint Avenue, Blackrock, Co Dublin, and is listed for trial in court on Wednesday, 13 January.

The clinic has denied breaching an alleged agreement with her and is making a counter claim.

Williams alleges that in January 2012, she had an agreement with the clinic for dental treatment – which included the replacement of a temporary crown, the fitting of braces and veneers, and cosmetic treatment – for an agreed sum just short of €7,000.

In public documents seen by this reporter, the model claims she sought to have the treatment carried out for her wedding to musician Brian McFadden in September 2012.

She claims she had also agreed to do an interview with an Irish newspaper or magazine and a video testimonial promoting the clinic’s website and professional services.

Publicity agreement

Williams, of Howth Lodge Apartments, Claremont Road, Howth, Co Dublin, alleges that after having provided the clinic with the agreed publicity, it had sought full payment for carrying out her dental procedures.

Williams further claims that between January and June 2012 she had fulfilled her publicity undertakings and that a breach of contract arose when the clinic then sought full payment for the treatments.

Williams alleges that in August 2012, just a month before her wedding, she rescinded any agreement she had with the clinic.

She claims she had been caused upset and worry at a time when she had been preparing to get married.

Seapoint Clinic, which has delivered a full defence and counter claim to Williams’ proceedings, alleges that she failed to attend a number of scheduled appointments and that it had been put to expense and costs as a result.

The clinic, which claims Williams still owes it more than €5,000 for her treatment, alleges it is she who is in “fundamental breach of contract” and is therefore not entitled to succeed in a claim for damages.
