Sun rises on Adam Boland settlement

News Corp Australia

THEY declared war on each other with three days of court action set down from August 9.

But Confidential can now reveal former Sunrise executive producer Adam Boland and Channel 7 have decided to try to make the mess go away before then with a mediation date set for Monday.

Seven news and current affairs boss Peter Meakin and sources close to Boland confirmed both parties would prefer the contract row be sorted out between their lawyers rather than end up in court.

"I don't welcome any matter going to court and I'm told Adam Boland does not want to end up there either," Meakin told us. "But there are certain legal principles involved here."
