The Court of Appeal has affirmed the High Court's decision to strike out motions brought by a guarantor challenging a settlement agreement and the appointment and actions of receivers over a company's assets. The guarantor had sought to dispute the debt, the receivers' appointment, and their subsequent actions. However, the court found that the guarantor had entered into a comprehensive settlement agreement, which acknowledged the validity of the security held by the acquiring entity of the loan and the guarantor's liability. The guarantor's appeal was dismissed on the grounds that the settlement agreement was binding and provided finality to the disputes, with no new evidence or arguments justifying a reopening of the case.
