A billionaire estate owner was sued by a Gamekeeper over claims that he had been left with impaired hearing after working on his estate
Gamekeeper Christopher Mulqueeney, who sued billionaire estate owner Sheikh Maher al-Tajir for £10,000 over claims he had been left with impaired hearing after working on the estate, agreed an undisclosed out-of-court settlement on 21 June.
Mr Mulqueeney claimed the Sheikh barred him from wearing ear defenders while they were out shooting on his 24,000-acre Perthshire estate.
