A former lawyer for Meriton Property Services is suing one of the country's richest men, billionaire Harry Triguboff, and the company, alleging he was sacked because he refused to lie in an affidavit.

The company's former group general counsel, Joseph Callaghan, is suing for $556,500 in compensation plus penalties, claiming he was fired from his $350,000-a-year job by the 87-year-old property developer this year because he refused to exaggerate the time it took for the City of Sydney Council to approve one of Meriton's buildings.
