Document: In re SS&C Technologies, Inc. Shareholders Litigation, Cons. C.A. No. 1525-VCL, Lamb, V.C. (Del. Ch. August 8, 2008)

The Court concluded that the defendant’s fee petition of nearly $1,000,000 in fees and expenses for one fifty-page brief, preparation for and presentation at, a two hour oral argument and a motion to unseal and for sanctions was too high, and that a reasonable award would be $250,000 since a substantial portion of the brief merely restated the background of the dispute, and most of the information for the motions to unseal and for sanctions was gathered previously.
