The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that Edward Rogers, executive chairman of Rogers Communications, has triggered a clash over his mother's multimillion-dollar estate with an attempt to deny payments to his partner in pro sports, Larry Tanenbaum. The Globe's Irene Galea writes that Mr. Rogers has objected to the $11-million in total compensation that Mr. Tanenbaum and the estate's two other trustees are claiming as executors of the $250-million estate of his mother, Loretta Anne Rogers. Mr. Rogers has also objected to any payment to Mr. Tanenbaum, whose company, Kilmer Sports, owns a 25-per-cent stake in Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, which Rogers Communications has the right to acquire in July, giving it full ownership of the sports company. Mr. Rogers's objection to Mr. Tanenbaum's compensation is the latest sign of friction between the two businessmen, who have a history of disagreement over their jointly held sports empire. The sparring over the management of Ms. Rogers's estate also follows a feud within the family several years ago, as she and two of her daughters opposed Mr. Rogers both in the boardroom and the courtroom over the leadership of the telecom company that bears their name.
