Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick Appointed To Rule Over Twitter''s Delaware Suit Against Elon Musk
Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick Appointed To Rule Over Twitter''s Delaware Suit Against Elon Musk For the upcoming Twitter versus Elon Musk saga that''s going to take place in Delaware''s Court of Chancery, the case is going to be overseen by the court''s first female chief judge, Kathaleen McCormick. McCormick took on the role last year and "was appointed to the bench in 2021 by Delaware Governor John Carney, a Democrat," according to Bloomberg Law . She is a graduate of Harvard College and Notre Dame University’s law school. She will first be tasked with ruling on a request by Twitter to hold a four-day trial in September - a ruling that may give us some idea as to the pace of how quickly the trial may move forward and whether the court sees the case as simple, or complex, to rule on. “Having mounted a public spectacle to put Twitter in play, and having proposed and then signed a seller-friendly merger agreement, Musk apparently believes that he — unlike every other party subject to Delaware contract law — is free to change his mind, trash the company, disrupt its operations, destroy stockholder value, and walk away," Twitter''s lawsuit against Musk claims.
