The unfair dismissal case brought by former Lancashire magazine publisher and chief executive Peter Bourhill against Owen Oyston’s Ridings Publishing Company is due to be heard in court in Manchester on Monday.
The case is expected to last five days.
Oyston headhunted Bourhill as one of three former Archant Regional senior management in 2006: Archant publishes the county’s biggest-selling lifestyle magazine, Lancashire Life.
The headhunting was one more step in what has been an extremely acrimonious scrap between Oyston and Archant.

In January this year, Bourhill left the company. Whether it was redundancy, dismissal or other is to be determined next week. Bourhill told How-Do he has plans to launch his own publishing company but would not reveal any further details.
Owen Oyston’s office in Preston declined to comment this morning.
In addition to Oyston, other ‘celebrity’ directors of Ridings Publishing Company include William Roache and Stuart Hall. Something to add? Then leave a comment below or email us now.
