Officeserve Technologies Ltd (in compulsory liquidation) and another v Anthony-Mike [2017] EWHC 1920 (Ch), [2017] All ER (D) 37 (Aug)

The settlement agreement entered by the first applicant company and the respondent, governing certain claims or potential claims by each against the other, did not release the respondent from his obligations to the company in his capacity as a director. The Chancery Division held that the agreement released the respondent from claims connected with or arising out of his employment and not connected with or arising out of his holding an office.
