Overview

  • Tottenham Hotspur lodged a commercial claim in the High Court on June 12 against Ineos Automotive Limited, a subsidiary of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos group.
  • The dispute revolves around a deal struck in December 2022 to make the Ineos Grenadier the club’s official 4x4 vehicle partner, which Ineos terminated two years early.
  • Negotiations that began in February failed to resolve differences over the early exit, prompting Spurs to pursue legal action.
  • Ineos has attributed the partnership cuts to cost pressures from Europe’s green carbon taxes and broader restructuring measures.
  • The lawsuit follows other recent sports settlements by Ineos, including a March agreement with New Zealand Rugby after an early contract end.
