Court of Chancery of Delaware

In a suit brought by a law firm that recently served as class counsel in a class and derivative action which had been litigated and settled, the firm's motion for summary judgment is granted on the grounds that a purported contract with a representative plaintiff, for payment of legal work he performed in the underlying matter, was unenforceable as a matter of law and contrary to the principles governing stockholder class and derivative litigation in Delaware.
