JUDGMENT
PRELIMINARY HEARING – EX PARTE
For the Appellant | THE APPELLANT IN PERSON |
MR JUSTICE KEENE: This is a preliminary hearing to consider whether this appeal raises any reasonably arguable point of law.
"We will also undertake to arrange the purchase of your shares in the company, within 6 months from the termination of your contract, at no less than £1.50 per share, until that time any dividends due will be added to the value of the shares."
There seems to be no dispute that the appellant signed that agreement and that it embodies terms agreed between the parties. Mr Mendes' complaint to the tribunal was that he had not received dividends on the shares in accordance with that agreement.
"In our judgment, on the proper construction of the agreement between the parties, what is meant by the phrase in the agreement "Any dividends due" is a dividend which is due because the shareholders in annual general meeting have approved it."
They consequently concluded that there was no sum due to the appellant in respect of these dividends. They also concluded that the appellant was not entitled to claim in respect of the shares held in the name of his wife and so they made no adjudication on the merits of that claim.
