Text: 305 Plaintiff was given personal notice of the hearing in the High Court and of his right to attend and object. At one point, the district judge specifically requested plaintiff to consider attending. In addition, full notice of the hearing, of the shareholders' rights, and of the binding effect of the judgment of the High Court appeared in the proxy materials as well as in leading newspapers in America, London, Zambia, and Johannesburg. This elaborate notification appears to comply fully with the due process requirements promulgated by the Supreme Court in Mullane v. Central Hanover Bank and Trust Co., 339 U.S. 306, 70 S.Ct. 652, 94 L.Ed. 865 (1950). Plaintiff made an advertent decision not to attend the hearing, and no valid justification for such refusal appears in the record. 306
