When not taking on the big banks or railing about multinational tax avoidance, indie publisher Michael West is being sued by his nephew, who claims he wasn’t paid properly.

Next month, the ex-Fairfax Media rabble-rouser is due to appear in Sydney’s Federal Circuit Court on a case brought by Alex Anstey, who for several years contributed illustrations to West’s eponymous business publication Michael West Media. For this, he was paid a series of sums, ranging from $200 a week to $730.59 a week.
