The claim has been brought by Richard Womack against Mahmud Kamani, the billionaire co-founder of Boohoo, for breach of agreement according to the law firm representing him, JMW Solicitors.

It claims that Womack began working with Kamani in 1998, providing IT consultancy services for his then business Pinstripe Clothing Co Ltd. In February 2006, the suit said, Kamani approached Womack to request he develop a website to sell clothing online.
