Technology giant IBM pulled out of a £55m (€62m) contract to upgrade Co-op Insurance’s technology in July last year.

Now, UK-based insurer Co-op has filed a massive £130m law suit against it.

The court documents, in which IBM is slammed as “reckless”, reveal the extent of the disagreement between the two companies.

They portray a project that may have been doomed from the start, raising questions over whether IBM would ever have been able to fulfil its end of the deal.
