Battle for control of Rogers Communications heads to court

A battle for control of the board of Rogers Communications Inc, one of Canada’s largest telecoms companies, is headed to court after rival factions claimed they were in charge following a family feud that erupted into the open.

Last week, the company’s board voted to remove Edward Rogers, son of the late founder Ted Rogers, as chair after he tried to replace CEO Joe Natale with another executive. The move put him at odds with his sisters and mother.
