Roberto Martinez received an eye-watering one-off severance payment of more than £10million from Everton after being sacked as their manager in May.
Lawyers representing the club attempted to reduce the figure in protracted negotiations with Martinez's legal team but a clause in his contract demanded that he be paid the remaining three years of his deal — which added up to nearer £12m.
In the end an agreement was reached after an independent hearing in London at between £10m and £11m.
Martinez, now manager of Belgium, signed a five-year contract with Everton in July 2014 after an outstanding first season as the club's successor to David Moyes.
