The estate of British technology tycoon Mike Lynch has been denied the right to appeal a High Court ruling that found it liable to pay Hewlett-Packard (HP) following the contentious acquisition of software firm Autonomy.
A High Court judge rejected the estate's bid to challenge Mr Justice Hildyard’s 2022 decision, which concluded that HP had "substantially won" its more than a billion-dollar fraud claim against Mr Lynch over the 2011 purchase of Autonomy.
