80 Mile Plc* (80M LN) – 0.27p, Mkt cap £11m – Court rules in Greenswitch favour in ownership dispute over the Ferrandia biofules and ESO plant in Italy
- 80 Mile Plc report on a civil damages and ownership dispute between Greenswitch, a subsidiary of Hydrogen Valley and Digitile.
- 80 Mile has an option to acquire up to a 100% interest in Hydrogen Valley and has already acquired 24% of Hydrogen Valley.
- 80 Mile now expects to announce a time extension to its option to acquire more of Hydrogen Valley due to the finalisation of all outstanding legal disputes.
- The Italian Court of Bari has ruled on and dismissed claims made by Digitile against Greenswitch, regarding a private agreement dated 2015.
- “The Court rejected Digitile’s claims for more than €12 million in damages and ownership of the plant, after finding insufficient evidence to prove the 2015 agreement’s authenticity or its formation on the stated date.
- This closes the outstanding litigation for Greenswitch and as such the Company now expects to continue with its staged acquisition.”
- “The Court dismissed Digitile’s claims, denied Greenswitch’s request for damages due to frivolous litigation (lacking proof of bad faith), and ordered Digitile to pay Greenswitch’s legal costs, amounting to €33,685 plus additional fees and taxes, as per the applicable legal fee regulations.”
- The RNS statement contains further details on the court case.
Conclusion: We hope the ruling of the Court of Bari in Italy will end the claims by Digitile and reduce any further delays to 80 Miles’s plans to take full control of the biofuels and epoxidized soybean oil project at the Ferrandina Plant in Italy.
