The Seven Network has initiated legal proceedings against its former sales boss James Warburton and Ten Holdings, relating to the cessation of Warburton’s employment with Seven, contending the existence of employment and post-employment restraints.
Network Ten has released a statement that said it "considers that it has acted properly and in a way that is consistent with Mr Warburton’s employment obligations and will be defending any proceedings accordingly".
"Ten looks forward to Mr Warburton commencing with Ten as chief executive officer, as previously
announced, on 14 July 2011. As the matter is currently before the courts, Ten will not make any further
comment," the statement reads.
Warburton's defection to Ten was announced last week.
