U2 start possessions court battle
Irish rock band U2 are taking a former stylist to court in Dublin in a battle over possessions they wish to reclaim.
Among the items - worth around £3,500 - are a pair of trousers and a hat once worn by the band's lead singer Bono.
Lola Cashman, who worked for U2 in the 1980s, tried to sell the items and wrote an unauthorised biography of the chart-topping group.
It is unclear whether the four members of U2 will be in court to attend the preliminary hearing.
Entry to the Dublin court has been restricted due to the interest the case is likely to generate.
Homecoming
The Irish Courts Service has listed the case of Adam Clayton, David Evans (The Edge), Paul Hewson (Bono) and Laurence Mullen - a firm trading as U2 - versus Lola Cashman at the Circuit Court in Dublin on Tuesday.
The band recently returned to their home city to perform three homecoming concerts at Dublin's Croke Park, which attracted more than 150,000 people.
Some fans had camped out overnight to secure their place at the venue.
U2 are due to take part in the Live 8 concerts on 2 July, playing the London leg of the event in Hyde Park.
