- High Court
The Court concluded the settlement agreement was valid and enforceable, clause 11 was broad enough to bar the present proceeding against Peter (both personally and as executor), and none of the grounds advanced by the plaintiffs (duress, non-disclosure, misrepresentation, company execution irregularity or unfairness) raised an arguable case against the defendant because the complained conduct related to the plaintiffs' solicitor or was otherwise unsupported. Therefore the amended statement of claim was an abuse of process and was struck out.
