In an ongoing legal dispute over alleged intellectual property theft, an attorney representing a client all claims against whom were dropped pre-trial is now challenging the Delaware Supreme Court. The litigation initially focussed on purportedly stolen trade secrets related to trash-handling systems; however, the appeal is in relation to the Chancery Court’s alleged neglect to consider his client’s attorney fee claim.
Despite all charges against the defendant being rescinded before the commencement of the trial, their legal representative continues to fight for the recognition and reimbursement of attorney fees associated with the dropped case. The attorney has called upon Delaware’s Supreme Court to overturn the Chancery Court’s apparent disregard for hearing their claim for legal fees.
