Tim Wright’s claim against IPL cricket franchise for breach of contract to be heard at Royal Courts of Justice in LondonA £10m dispute between an Indian Premier League cricket franchise and its former chief executive will be heard at the Royal Courts of Justice in London on Monday.Tim Wright is suing the Deccan Chargers franchise for breach of contract after he claims he was constructively dismissed in January 2009.Wright, who held a senior position at marketing collection IMG, had joined as chief executive seven months earlier, and was taken on after the team finished at the end in the inaugural premier league season. After he reshuffled the management and the team, the Chargers won the competition in the following season.However he claims he was then questioned to go back to London to employment, and subsequently told it would be bigger for the two sides to go their separate ways. He maintains his employment deal with the Chargers meant he was entitled to the multimillion-pound payment if his contract was finished, and chose to sue the Chargers for the money he believed he was due.Deccan however accused him of absconding and claimed he was “avoiding India for dread of being questioned by immigration officials/community police”. Wright rejects the allegations, calling them “without any foundation whatsoever”.He won the fair for his condition to be heard in the UK, despite Deccan attempting to convince the courts that India had jurisdiction.Wright became involved with the Chargers following his employment on the establishment of the Indian Premier League during his age at IMG.IPLCricketNick Fletcherguardian.co.uk © 2012 Twitter News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.
