Solicitors who represented a company whose CEO allegedly spent the firm's money providing homes and jobs for his girlfriends, who had allegedly been screened through illicit websites, have withdrawn from the case, the High Court has heard.

It came after a proposed settlement of a dispute with one of the company's executives was allegedly not proceeded with and the company’s original lawyers decided to "come off record".
