The company said the High Court had ruled against Andre Vanyi-Robin, who claimed he was owed around £183,000 after not receiving Motive shares that should have been issued to him.
The former Barcelona employee had said this was payment for the purchase of his shares in Adecq S. L. (now called Motive Television S.L.).

Vanyi-Robin is now appealing against the judgment but Motive said it was confident the appeal would be dismissed.

"The company believes these claims have no foundation and will continue to contest them with the utmost vigour."
