The coach was in charge of The Toffees for 18 months between 2019 and 2021 before resigning and returning to Real.
His lawyers are yet to comment on the matter, meanwhile, the case itself is set to add more worries for the Merseyside outfit, given the ongoing issues at the club.
On Monday, it was announced that three board members had left their roles, namely, CEO Denise Barrett-Baxendale, CFO and CSO Grant Ingles, as well as non-executive director Graeme Sharp.
According to Metro, club chairman Bill Kenwright said of their departure; "This has been a great board who have all worked tirelessly for the club, no matter what the circumstances.
"My relationship with Denise has been known as one of the closest in football. I thank her for her many achievements, particularly her magnificent work in respect of our new stadium."
Sean Dyche's team's financial struggles in recent season are no secret, as they also now face an ongoing battle to raise enough funds to build their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.
On the other hand, Farhad Moshiri, who owns 94% of the club, is believed to be trying to secure additional investment to ease the financial burden, but no formal deals have been confirmed by the side as yet.
