Geldof wins latest Africa investment firm legal case

Musician and campaigner Bob Geldof has won the latest round of a legal fight relating to a firm that invests in African businesses.

A High Court judge had been asked to decide whether a dispute, centred on the 8 Miles private equity firm, of which Geldof is the chairman, should proceed to a trial.

Businessman Miten Dutia claimed that he was a member of a partnership, along with Geldof and three other businessmen, behind the creation of 8 Miles. They disputed the claim.
