Mon, 10 Jun 2013A High Court case in which two directors of recruitment and training consultancy Synergy Group are suing James Caan’s Human Capital Investment Group (HCIG) for over £5m continues today.
Patrick Hanlon, who founded Synergy Group, and Kieran Ryan, who was chief executive officer of the consultancy after joining it in 2009, claim that Caan reneged on a business deal, according to court papers, after HCIG acquired Synergy Group out of administration in May 2011, as reported by The Times.
The two men claim that Caan promised to give them each 20% of the newly-formed business, HBHC Synergy, and that after the deal went through, HCIG refused to give them what had been agreed.
HCIG refutes the claims arguing that no oral or legally binding deal was agreed.
The case began last Thursday.
