Sir Philip Green was on Monday urged to do “the honourable thing” and free his alleged victims from their gagging orders after abandoning his legal battle with the Telegraph.
The Topshop owner, named in parliament as the businessman at the centre of Britain’s #MeToo scandal, paid substantial sums in out-of-court settlements to former employees who accused him of sexual harassment and racist abuse.
Sir Philip, 66, has abandoned his bid to stop the Telegraph revealing details of the allegations, but an interim injunction imposed in October remains in place until the application by Sir Philip and Arcadia to discontinue the action is heard in front of the Appeal Court judge.
