B&N Pursues 'Risky' Move Against Fired CEO - Publishers Weekly

Today Panzer made a quick trip to the Publishers Weekly site. There with a little digging in the posts pile our fastidious kitty boy found one about the Demos Parneros lawsuit filed against Barnes and Noble.

What was discovered?

According to Andrew Albanese's post, Barnes and Noble attorneys are asking the judge in Demos Parneros' lawsuit against his former employer Barnes and Noble to issue a summary judgement on two of the three claims in the lawsuit. They are the defamation of character claim and the breach of good faith claim. The attorneys say that now the discovery process is over, the information shows there is no merit to these two claims. The judge advised the attorneys it would be a risky proposition to ask for a summary judgement, but the attorneys intend to go ahead with it. They have until November 22 to file their motion. The post contains several links to other posts containing information about the ongoing lawsuit as well as a link to the letter filed with the court advising about the summary judgement request.

Panzer says, "Hmm ... This little kitty doesn't think it bodes well when the judge tells you it's risky to do what you want to do."
