SAM TOBIN reports from the High Court

SHAMED retail tycoon Philip Green took the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) accountancy watchdog to the High Court today to protect what is left of his reputation.

His company Taveta Investments — parent of Arcadia Group, which owns Topshop and Miss Selfridge — is trying to stop the FRC publishing a damning report into a PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) audit of BHS.
