I agree with you and your reasoning. I had very similar thoughts to yours. I know only a little about the Hamoodi litigation but that claim is directed at a different target presumably because, for Hamoodi himself, it represents the whole or main loss of value, and possibly a cleaner line of argument too. I agree that any later litigation claim will benefit from that case being heard. For all I know Hamoodi may be thinking of taking on other satellite litigation after this case. I would be very interested to talk with him. Is anyone here in contact?
Anyone who bought shares in reliance upon BT's earlier pronouncements after public release of the first and second settlement RNS can feel jolly aggrieved, and may very well have a good claim against the company. The case may be somewhat wider than that simple issue but IMO that is the crux of it. It seems there may be some appetite for this. I do not think anyone should identify themselves just yet but if it is not too embarrassing can someone please re-post the list of shareholdings as it may be useful to gauging the potential losses.
I wiped out some pretty tremendous gains of my own on the basis of BT's nonsense remarks. I would have taken my profits on settlement had it not been for that one issue. But just like others who carried out their research fully and diligently as I did, my expectation was that a settlement value would be worth a handsome multiple of the share price, and that belief continued even after the obfuscation of the second RNS on the basis of what BT had previously stated. There are very few people who disagree with this opinion. One of the few is an amateurish investor who despite all his other incomprehensible ramblings somehow produced a seemingly relevant legal judgment. I am deeply suspicious of how he managed to do that.
Ps. Why did Nanoco not choose to publish the proposed settlement value itself? Was there a regulatory/litigation or contractual reason for not doing so?
