.....ex-members began legal proceedings in 2004 claiming that solicitor Tony Seddon – and other partners in Woolf Seddon – had "been in serious breach of their duties" by failing to "protect a distinct copyright" held by Musical Youth.However Mr Seddon and former colleagues argued that the claim was an abuse of process" at a high court hearing in London in November, and asked for it to be struck out.
Mr Justice Roth ruled that Mr Seddon and his ex-partners were entitled to summary judgment, saying: "I regard the claim as wholly without merit."
