Dyson to sue former chief executive Max Conze

Technology firm alleges he leaked company secrets and used company resources for his own benefit

Technology firm Dyson is to sue its former chief executive for allegedly leaking its closely guarded secrets, in a claim his lawyers say is a "naked attempt" to distract from a wrongful dismissal suit against the company.

The extraordinary row emerged after the company, founded by inventor Sir James Dyson, filed a high court claim against Max Conze, who led the company from 2011 to 2017.
