Grant Johnson, the recently removed CEO of Esports Entertainment Group, has filed a lawsuit against his former employer alleging that the company’s dismissal of his services represented a breach his employment contract.
In December, Johnson had been asked to resign by the Esports Entertainment Group board. This came at the conclusion of a disastrous year for the business, including brand closures, a debt default and the possibility of delisting.
Now, in a recent prospectus for a share issue, the business has revealed that Johnson has sued the business for breach of contract and wrongful termination.
Johnson argues in court filings filed in the Southern District of New York district court that EEG had breached his employment contract in its listed reasoning for his dismissal.
