“Clearly I would prefer not to be talking about these private matters, but because false claims have been aired about in public which bring up the name of our business it is incumbent upon me to provide you with more information,” the letter dated February 5 reads.Mr Buckley said a former employee was “out for revenge” after resigning over a “past” which made it “impossible for me to continue his employment”.He then writes that the man had joined forces with his ex-girlfriend after Buckley ended their relationship. The business tycoon was last week granted an urgent injunction banning former partner Jennifer Cruz Cole from making public the contents of secret recordings she has of him.Lawyer John Searle, for Mr Buckley, told the court the recordings were made without his client’s consent and any public release would put Mr Buckley’s reputation “in significant peril” and cause “extraordinary economic loss”.Zoe Davis, for Ms Cole, told the court the recordings were the subject of a criminal investigation.“My client was subject to a violent, violent attack in part of these recordings,” Ms Davis said.The case returns to court on February 15.
