Nair v Lagardere Sports and Entertainment UK Ltd [2020]

The claimant was employed within the defendant’s group of companies known as the World Sport Group since 2006 until he resigned in 2017.   The issue with his employment arose with the defendant, Lagardere, with whom he had been employed since October 2015.   His position was that he had been instrumental in securing the media rights to the Indian Premier League cricket.  The dispute then arose from his claim that the World Sport Group and the Board of Cricket Control for India had terminated contracts and he suffered a loss of reputation as well as other losses.  One of the primary concerns raised by the claimant was his entitlement to a bonus of $25 million
