The administrators who handled the sale of the Ralph Russo to Retail Ecommerce Ventures, have filed suit against Tamara Ralph, one of the companys cofounders, seeking damages of 20.8 million pounds. The suit was filed in Englands High Court. Paul Appleton of Begbies Traynor Group, one of the brands two joint adminstrators, and his lawyer, Daniel Morrison, have said Tamara Ralph siphoned money from the company, engaged in financial mismanagement, and breached contract by attempting to set up a competing business. Ralph has already denied the claims.
