Conyers Secures Trial Win for Major Shareholder
In a judgment handed down by the British Virgin Islands High Court on 25 July 2019, Renaissance Ventures Ltd and another were awarded rectification of the share register of a billion dollar corporate group, Comodo Holdings Ltd.
The proceedings were acrimonious and hard fought over some time, with the three week trial in June 2019 necessitating five days of cross-examination of Comodo’s co-founder and CEO. The issues revolved around allegations of misrepresentation, in this case alleged against a person now deceased, and associated interpretation of subscription agreement. Conyers partner Mark Forte led a team of associates including Lauren Peaty and Alecia Johns, under leading counsel Paul Chaisty QC.
