SYDNEY, April 1 Asia Pulse - A dispute has erupted between Richard Branson's Virgin Group and Patrick Corp Ltd (ASX:PRK) over how they would float Virgin Blue, raising doubts about the timing of a sharemarket listing.

The Australian Financial Review says Patrick chief executive Chris Corrigan has refused a request by Sir Richard to prepare for a float, opposing calls to lower his shareholding.

"The split over the structure of the float revolves around Mr Corrigan's claim that he never agreed to a listing that would involve Patrick reducing its 50 per cent shareholding by more than five per cent," the newspaper reported.
