It feels like Jimmy Choo founder Tamara Mellon really enjoys going to court. Maybe she really likes the wigs they wear, or the formal court shoes that people are expected to wear, whatever it is it seems like she will be going back again.
Today it was announced that Ms. Mellon would be suing her own mother is an act which she claims to have been practically forced in to as she had no other option. She is suing Ann Yeardye for $10 million. Yeardye and Mellon had money invested in Jimmy Choo but when the company was sold in 2004 Yeardye allegedly received stock in error.
Mellon commented "It is with immense sadness that I take this action, but I see no other way to protect my daughter's interests, which are my paramount concern. The property in question was to help secure my daughter's future, and I am baffled by my mother's refusal to return assets which rightfully do not belong to her."
