A bitter and long-running legal dispute between Autonomy founder Mike Lynch and Hewlett Packard will finally reach the High Court in London on Monday, in what has been described as the UK tech trial of the century.

HP is seeking around $5bn in damages from Lynch and his former chief financial officer, Sushovan Hussain, accusing them of fraudulently inflating the value of Autonomy, which it bought for $11bn in 2011. The civil trial is one of the largest damages claims in English legal history, and is expected to finish at the end of the year.
