Britain's biggest retailer is taking legal action after mistakenly paying almost £1 million for six bicycles which should have cost less than £1,000, sources said.
Tesco is seeking restitution of the overpaid monies following the error by its finance team.
The supermarket chain should have paid Universal Cycles, a subsidiary of Sports Direct which is controlled by Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley, £984 for six Muddy Fox Suspension Bikes but paid £984,000 instead.
Universal, an Essex-based company majority-owned by Sports Direct, has paid back £863,000 but Tesco claims it is holding on to more than £121,000 in outstanding funds, sources said.
It has launched legal action at the High Court to recover the remaining money, legal costs and a further £1,783 - the sum the retailer claims it is owed in interest at 8% a year.
The error was made on August 13 and Universal was asked to repay it 15 days later. Universal then repaid some of the funds on September 29, but £121,412 is outstanding, sources said.
It is understood a meeting will be held between the two parties in a bid to resolve the dispute out of court.
A Tesco spokesman declined to comment on the ongoing case. |

Mike Ashley probably needs the money to buy his way back into the Premiership! ( not that I know anything about footie)
£121k- that'll buy a player for about a week at current rates! |
