Sports Direct owner Mike Ashley is examining the possibility of launching legal action against Debenhams, after its controversial company voluntary arrangement was approved earlier this month.

Ashley saw his near-30% stake in Debenhams completely wiped out, which cost him and his Sports Direct group at least £150m.
