Supposedly they're both (Lambert and the club) are suing each other for breach of contract. Lambert apparently had a clause that allowed him to speak with "bigger clubs" and Norwich refused to give Villa permission and let Lambert out because they felt that they would be entitled to compensation from Villa (and still believe this).
So the dispute is headed for a tribunal where it should all get settled one way or another. I can't find the exact date, but I recall hearing something about January, although I could be wrong.
Norwich fans shouldn't be too bitter because Norwich were taken to a tribunal for the way they poached Lambert from Colchester one game into the season a few years back. At least when he left Norwich, they had some time to hire Hughton and prepare for the forthcoming campaign. Colchester didn't get that luxury.
