Davidar settles sexual harassment suit at Penguin Canada out of court | India-born former Penguin Canada CEO David Davidar and two other parties - Penguin Canada and Lisa Rundle - have settled a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment out of court
and pledged silence. "We can now advise that all allegations have been addressed
and all matters resolved to the satisfaction of all parties," the Globe and Mail
quoted Peter Downard, a lawyer representing Davidar, as saying in an e-mail. "None
of the parties will be commenting further to the media," he added. Penguin spokesman
Yvonne Hunter confirmed the news. "Everything has been settled," she said, adding
that the company expects to follow the news by announcing the name of Penguin
Canada's new president Wednesday morning. The sensational tale began when Penguin
Group CEO John Makinson jointly announced Davidar's departure in June, suggesting
the president of Penguin Canada was leaving voluntarily to write novels. But soon
after, former Penguin Canada executive Lisa Rundle filed a lawsuit claiming she
had been sexually harassed by Davidar, and that the company fired her when she
complained. In response, the company admitted that it had fired Davidar as a result
of the alleged incidents, which were described in vivid detail in Rundle's statement
of claim. |
