Vice Chancellor Paul Fioravanti Jr. has decided a group of defendants that conspired to breach fiduciary duties will be held accountable for more than $2.1 million in attorney fees, reasoning egregious conduct throughout five years of litigation warranted shifting the full amount plaintiffs requested.

The rare fee shifting decision is a win for investors represented by Moses Singer and Berger Harris, who two years ago prevailed on several claims against management of Clovis Holdings, a company founded in 2014 for the purpose of acquiring a business that made stone-based paper products.
