Zayo Group International Ltd v Ainger and others [2017] EWHC 2542 (Comm), [2017] All ER (D) 77 (Oct)

The claimant company’s claim concerning a share purchase agreement (SPA) against the defendants was dismissed. The Commercial Court held that proceedings had not been validly served on the fifth defendant, as required by the SPA. On the true construction of the SPA, since one of the defendants had not been validly served, none of them was under any liability to the claimant.
