Clive Palmer and Supreme Court

: William Schoch claims Mr Palmer breached his employment contract, while he was working as chief financial officer on Palmer China First coal project and later at Palmer Hyatt Coolum resort, according to Nine News Australia. He told the Supreme Court that Mr Palmer offered him $5 million over five years in a phone call in 2011. A former friend and employee of Clive Palmer who is suing the mining magnate for $4.6 million over a pay dispute has been grilled by Palmer lawyer in court today. He said, ‘Bill, work for five years for $5 million, that a million-dollar salary a year,’ Mr Schoch said. Palmer lawyer asked whether Schoch strategy to solve the dispute was mind reading ."Is it the case that at no time… until after your employment was terminated.. did you ever speak to Clive about the million dollars a year Simon Cooper QC asked Shoch."No I didn’t," Mr Schoch told the court."He did not mention the salary arrangements were going to change as far as the million dollars a year."Mr Schoch employment contract offered a base salary of just $100,000 a year, so he amended the document to include plus bonus as agreed . Mr Palmer human resources staff laughed at the amendment, Mr Schoch told the court. And I said, ‘yes, great, thank you.’ However, Schoch could not explain to the court today why he did not ask Palmer about the unpaid money during his three years of employment.
