Versarien PLC - Cheltenham, England-based engineering materials company - Says it has received "various unquantified claims" under the Employment Rights Act 1996 against the company. The claims were made by former chief executive Neill Ricketts. A preliminary hearing for case management has been scheduled for July 17.
