Peter Hook sues New Order, claiming they 'pillaged' the group's name

Former bassist claims he has lost more than £2m after the remaining three members licensed the group’s name to a new company

Peter Hook is suing his New Order ex-bandmates for “many millions of pounds” in the high court, accusing them of secretly “pillaging” the group’s name and starving him of cash.
