She had a visceral reaction to that.
She then was off the air.
didn't return to air and she, on 26 February, wrote a letter to ARN which said she could no longer continue working with Mr. Kyle Sanderlands and that working together had become untenable.
She, in fact, asked ARN to allocate to her a different show, not a breakfast show, not working with Kyle, something else on the network.
What ARN did was that they took that letter and said that Jackie had repudiated her contract, her services contract.
They terminated the services contract.
Then they suspended Kyle because Kyle had been on the air from 20 February to 3 March.
They sent him a letter saying,
saying you've engaged in serious misconduct.
We're alleging you've engaged in serious misconduct and also you've breached the contract.
We need you to remedy the breach.
Wasn't clear how he was going to remedy that breach and you've got 14 days to do it.
He was taken off the air.
14 days later, his contract was terminated.
And then both Kyle and Jackie O separately have, through their service entities that were contracted to ARN, brought legal proceedings.
There are different bases for their claims.
Kyle is saying it's a breach of his contract.
Well, in fact, what he's saying is the contract was never even validly terminated and he should be reinstated on the air.
So that's his case.
Jackie's case is that ARN did not have a proper basis to terminate her contract.
