OPINION
Dear Friends,
In my recent article about Elon Musk suing Wachtell for charging $90 million in legal fees, I was misinformed about it being in Delaware’s Chancery Court. The case is being handled in California.
I sincerely apologize for my mistake.
Regardless, although I was in error in the location of this interesting development, it does not change the atrocious greed, unjust decisions, and obvious conflicts we saw in Delaware’s Chancery Court in so many cases, nor does it change the need, in my view, for legislative change in the operation and power of Delaware’s Chancery Court.
Again, sorry for my error; I am acutely embarrassed, as I pride myself on my accurate research. Indeed, it won’t happen again.
Respectfully Submitted,
JUDSON Bennett-Coastal Network
