A British newspaper has published details of allegations of sexual and racial misconduct by retail tycoon Philip Green, after the Topshop owner dropped a legal bid to stop the claims being reported. The employees received substantial payments to settle claims against Green on condition they signed non-disclosure agreements. Dropped legal action FridayGreen obtained an injunction to stop the newspaper publishing the allegations, but dropped his legal action on Friday because his name has already become public. A judge at London's High Court declined a request by the Telegraph to impose conditions preventing Green from suing the newspaper or the former employees in the future. Green, 66, is chairman of Arcadia Group, which owns brands including Burton, Dorothy Perkins and Miss Selfridge, as well as Topshop.
