O’Neill has conducted a prolonged campaign against Malcouronne, his wife and children, since they moved in to their Shakespeare Rd house in mid-2018. In mid-2019, Judge David Harvey issued restraining orders against both of them. Malcouronne successfully appealed that decision and the restraining order against him was removed. The order against O’Neill remained in place, with High Court judge Justice Karen Clark describing her as “the indisputable and relentless harasser”. Within days of Justice Clark’s decision coming out, O’Neill served Malcouronne with a summons alleging that he had breached the restraining order against him.
