Feuding: Gordon Ramsay is at loggerheads with his parents-in-law<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Investigators are to search computers belonging to Gordon Ramsay\u2019s parents-in-law following claims that the celebrity chef\u2019s emails were hacked.<\/p>\n

Experts have been granted a court order to travel to the \u00a32million French chateau owned by Chris and Greta Hutcheson to carry out a forensic examination of their computers.<\/p>\n

The couple\u2019s iPhones may also be searched as part of the investigation by \u2018Pentagon-style\u2019 specialists, the High Court heard.<\/p>\n

The dramatic move is the latest twist in the bitter family row that began when Ramsay sacked his father-in-law from his job as chief executive of Gordon Ramsay Holdings last year.<\/p>\n

Mr Hutcheson is taking the chef to an employment tribunal over his dismissal, in a case due to start next month.<\/p>\n

But yesterday the High Court heard allegations that confidential emails between Ramsay and his solicitor planning their defence at the tribunal had been hacked.<\/p>\n

\n

Suspicion: Chris and Greta Hutcheson will be investigated by ‘Pentagon-style’ specialists<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Tom Croxford, representing Ramsay, told the court: \u2018Two of those sources of hacking were in France. We are unsurprisingly keen to search these computers.\u2019 Mrs Hutcheson had agreed to allow the computers to be examined at her home in Lyon, the court was told.<\/p>\n

Ramsay\u2019s lawyers were also granted permission to search computers belonging to his wife Tana\u2019s brother Adam Hutcheson and his wife Adelaide, and another member of Tana\u2019s family.<\/p>\n

Computer hard drives belonging to some family members have already been copied to be examined by analysts, the court heard.<\/p>\n

\"Gordon<\/p>\n

Gordon and Tana Ramsay: Chris Hutcheson is widely thought to have influenced his daughter’s decision to stay with her husband in 2008 after Sarah Symonds claimed she had had an affair with the chef<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Justice Nicola Davies ruled that Ramsay\u2019s legal team can start trawling the computers today after Hutcheson lawyers said they would not challenge the court order.<\/p>\n

Before the family feud began, Mr Hutcheson was central to the chef\u2019s success in building up\u00a0 his company.<\/p>\n

Ramsay described meeting him as a 27-year-old in 1993 as his first \u2018real break\u2019<\/p>\n

The 62-year-old is also widely thought to have influenced his daughter\u2019s decision to stay with Ramsay in 2008 after Sarah Symonds claimed she had had a seven-year affair with the chef.<\/p>\n

But the Kitchen Nightmares star sacked his father-in-law as his chief executive in November after claims he had borrowed \u00a31.5million from the company, although Mr Hutcheson denies any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

Since then the pair have been engaged in public warfare, with\u00a0 Mr Hutcheson describing his son-in-law as a \u2018monster\u2019 and warning\u00a0 he knows \u2018where the bodies\u00a0 are buried\u2019.<\/p>\n

He also accused the Michelin-starred chef, 44, of being capable of \u2018manic\u2019 mood swings.<\/p>\n

The fiery chef retaliated by condemning Mr Hutcheson for his \u2018very complex life\u2019 and calling him\u00a0 a \u2018dictator\u2019.<\/p>\n

He even penned an extraordinary open letter to Mrs Hutcheson, saying it was a \u2018breath of fresh air\u2019 to have sacked her husband.<\/p>\n

Ramsay also suspended his wife\u2019s brother Adam, 39, from his job at Gordon Ramsay Holdings late\u00a0 last year.<\/p>\n
