Bahar and Lotus settled his claim a month before it was set to go to trial, according to The Telegraph . Bahar was removed from the company in June 2012 after being suspended over "conduct" issues.

Lotus already announced a new CEO, former PSA Peugeot Citroen exec Jean-Marc Gales. We can only hope things will go better under him than they did under Bahar.
