Document: In re SS&C Technologies, C.A. No. 1525-VCL, Lamb, V.C. (Del. Ch. March 6, 2008)
The court addressed a motion to impose sanctions on the plaintiffs and their counsel. The defendants requested this motion in response to: a motion filed by the plaintiffs for leave to withdraw, but only giving notice to the putative class and their related resistance to a request that the discovery record pertaining to the plaintiffs be made part of the public record. The court held that the plaintiffs and their counsel acted in bad faith relating to their motion to withdraw. Accordingly, the plaintiffs are required to reimburse the defendants for their attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred relating to this aspect of the litigation.
