Litigation Update
Imaginatik plc (AIM: IMTK), a leading provider of enterprise
innovation services including a range of technology products and
consultancy is pleased to announce the successful outcome of
litigation against its former CEO, Mark Turrell.
Over the last year the Company and Mr Cooper, Executive Chairman
of the Company, have brought litigation proceedings against Mr
Turrell, in connection with a number of actions which he has
undertaken in respect of them which have been against their
interests. The Company and Mr Cooper issued proceedings against him
in the High Court in respect of actions for defamation and for
breaches of confidence. On 13 June 2011, pursuant to an Order of
Sharp J in the High Court, judgment was awarded in favour of both
the Company and Mr Cooper in respect each of these actions and on
the terms sought.
On 12 December 2011 the claimants were informed that as a result
of a hearing held on 24 November 2011, before Tugendhat J in the
High Court, they had been awarded damages against Mr Turrell in
aggregate of GBP120,000 and were also granted injunctive relief to
prevent further such actions by Mr Turrell. The claimants also made
submissions in relation to their costs against Mr Turrell and
anticipate obtaining an order for costs very shortly. The Company
will update the market accordingly.
In making the judgment, Tugendhat J said "...Mr Turrell knew
that what he was publishing was false, that he had adopted a
campaign against Mr Cooper, and that he has aimed his publications
at those whose good opinion is most important to Mr Cooper. The
publications are clearly motivated by Mr Turrell's desire for
revenge against Mr Cooper for Mr Cooper's actions in terminating Mr
Turrell's employment."
Matt Cooper, Executive Chairman of Imaginatik, commented, "We
are delighted with this news, the verdict from the Court vindicates
the Company's position throughout and we look forward to continuing
to build the business over the long term."
