Vice Chancellor Lori Will has determined Johnson & Johnson owes more than $1 billion in damages and interest to shareholders of Auris Health Inc., finding the corporation didn’t honor its agreement to help a surgical robot meet certain milestones on schedule.

The damages award outlined in Thursday’s opinion may be the largest the Delaware court has ever approved in a case over earnout provisions, and a win for Ross Aronstam & Moritz and Selendy Gay attorneys who represented Fortis Advisors LLC, the plaintiff representing Auris shareholders.
