In a new court filing in his wrongful-dismissal lawsuit, Joe Natale claimed Rogers Communications altered board minutes to make them support chair Edward Rogers’s account of a boardroom battle for control of the telco. The company and its former chief executive are suing each other over the terms of Natale’s 2021 departure and neither has proved any claims in court. (The Logic)

Talking point: Natale is seeking at least $25 million in the suit. His filing says the alleged alteration retroactively put Edward Rogers’s ally Robert Dépatie back on the company’s board after he resigned to take a management post during Rogers’s first abortive attempt to oust the CEO in September 2021. The filing calls the alleged change “an egregious violation of ethics for one of Canada’s largest public companies.” Natale also calls the company’s claim that he improperly enriched his own severance package once he knew Edward Rogers was gunning for him “completely fabricated.”
