London - Britain's richest man may have to take the stand to answer claims of sexual discrimination after he fired his marketing director.

Dr Lanny Bezant (56), marketing director of Wadhurst Park Estates, was sacked at the same time as her husband, Richard (55), managing director of the estates, by the Tetrapak billionaire, Prof Hans Rausing.

Dr Bezant claims she was fired simply because she is Mr Bezant's wife.
