An expert witness in the Chancery Court appraisal of AOL on Monday asked a Delaware federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit alleging that his disparaging remarks had tanked the petitioner’s case at trial, saying that the claims were an “affront” to Vice Chancellor Sam Glasscock III’s finding of the company’s fair value.
The filing, from economics consultant W. Bradford Cornell, came in response to a $25 million breach-of-contract and fraud suit from Verition Partners Master Fund, which accused Cornell and Chicago-based litigation services firm Coherent Economics of failing to disclose Cornell’s alleged bias before trial.
