Citizens for Judicial Fairness Urges Scrutiny of Rogue Judicial Actions in Delaware

WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, in light of an upcoming hearing about fees paid by TransPerfect in the Delaware Court of Chancery and reporting that TransPerfect is considering acquiring the Delaware News Journal, Citizens for Judicial Fairness released the following statement:

“Delaware needs robust coverage when there is a lack of government transparency; the media should provide insight for the hard-working Delawareans that don’t have the luxury to monitor the action of the State’s elite leadership. We are encouraged that TransPerfect is considering purchasing the News Journal to begin to shine a light on the unscrupulous nature of Delaware State’s leadership and Court system.

“Hearings like the Chancery’s TransPerfect fees hearing tomorrow will determine whether elite Court insiders will continue to serve themselves with elaborate fees and fines at the expense of workers, or if justice will prevail and companies will be able to operate freely and fairly within the state. We will be watching closely to ensure that Chancery shenanigans do not go unnoticed.”
