In a separate lawsuit filed in San Francisco, Craigslist accused eBay of using its shareholder position, which allowed eBay to appoint a director, to obtain confidential competitive information to gain an unfair commercial advantage in developing eBay's own competing online classified ad business.<BR/><BR/>Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist, and Jim Buckmaster, Craigslist's President and CEO, were the only two members of Craigslist's board of directors, and the only shareholders (other than eBay). <BR/><BR/>On August 9, 2004, eBay became a shareholder and obtained first refusal rights and the right to appoint a director. eBay's rights were contingent upon its refraining from engaging in competitive activity. On June 29, 2007, eBay launched in the United States its own online classified advertising website, kijiji.com, and Craigslist sent a notice of Competitive Activity. eBay refused Craigslist's subseqent request to divest its shares. <BR/><BR/>Craigslist then diluted eBay's shares, which eliminated eBay's right to appoint a director, and implemented a poison pill that would prevent eBay from selling its shares to anyone other than to Craigslist. eBay commenced this lawsuit hoping to restore its position and to void the poison pill.<BR/><BR/><img src="http://content.courtroomview.com/images/cvn/eBay-Trial-Testimony-From-Whitman-Omidyar-Silverman-Newmark.png" alt="Executives Testify in eBay-Craigslist Trial: Meg Whitman, Pierre Omidyar, Josh Silverman, and Craig Newmark" /><br><BR/>The eBay-Craigslist trial has testimony from Meg Whitman (eBay CEO), Pierre Omidyar (eBay Founder), Josh Silverman (Skype CEO), Craig Newmark (Craigslist Founder), Jim Buckmaster (Craigslist CEO), Garrett Price (eBay Business Development Lead), Brian Levey (eBay Counsel), and Ed Wes (Craigslist Counsel).<BR/><BR/>View a free video clip from the case:<BR/><a href="http://mslcc.courtroomconnect.net/mslCC/Viewer/?peid=c16c26a1d69d4549af35f98a8685e50a">Former eBay CEO, Meg Whitman, is cross-examined by attorney Catherine Dearlove -- Clip 1</a> High 46 Technology eBay Domestic Holdings Inc., v.

Starrh proposed a plan to restore the aquifer to its original condition, which would have cost over $2 billion, but a jury in Kern County Superior Court awarded only $7 million in damages. <BR/><BR/>On appeal, Starrh's lawyers argued that the damages should potentially include money saved by Aera by not properly disposing the waste water. The Fifth District Court of Appeal in Fresno ordered a new trial on damages, noting that even if Aera had been forced to pay $1 per barrel instead of 1.5 cents per barrel to dispose of the waste water, Aera would still have had over $1 billion in profits. Aera and several industry associations unsuccessfully petitioned the California Supreme Court to allow the original $7 million award to stand. <BR/><BR/>After retrial, the jury found that 96,096,512 barrels of water had crossed from Aera ponds onto the plaintiff's property, and that Aera obtained a benefit from this method of waste water disposal worth $8,559,622.<BR/> High 47 Environmental Starrh and Starrh Cotton Growers v.

Portugal's third largest bank alleged that BDO had conducted negligent audits for one of BDO's clients, failing to discover a $220M fraud that cost Banco Espirito $170M.<BR/><BR/>View free video clips from the case:<BR/><a href="http://mslcc.courtroomconnect.net/mslCC/Viewer/?peid=225eebee55aa4dfbbf0c527cd85db43c">Plaintiff's opening statement -- Clip 1</a><BR/><a href="http://mslcc.courtroomconnect.net/mslCC/Viewer/?peid=6899fa5b9e07440a827720ed806bea03">Plaintiff's opening statement -- Clip 2</a><BR/><a href="http://mslcc.courtroomconnect.net/mslCC/Viewer/?peid=2525bd77316f422a82810780161ed7d9">Defense's opening statement -- Clip 1</a><BR/><a href="http://mslcc.courtroomconnect.net/mslCC/Viewer/?peid=46a511fcb94048eeb2d4ecf26641647f">Defense's opening statement -- Clip 2</a><BR/><a href="http://mslcc.courtroomconnect.net/mslCC/Viewer/?peid=de77f9cd33e6435d8aceb69ec9c44db0">Testimony of Paul van Elten, BDO International Secretary -- Clip 1</a> <BR/><a href="http://mslcc.courtroomconnect.net/mslCC/Viewer/?peid=08957d4165cb49b3adcedd622afa6c97">Paul van Elten -- Clip 2</a><BR/><a href="http://mslcc.courtroomconnect.net/mslCC/Viewer/?peid=91279169b0bf4890a94169e0bc827b2f">Paul van Elten' -- Clip 3</a><BR/> High 50 Finance Banco Espirito Santo v.

The represented employees argued that because their offices would not in fact close, they would not in fact work fewer hours, and they would not be able to subsequently use their furlough days before the days expired, and thus the practical effect of the order was a salary reduction with no reduction in hours. 228 Government California Correctional Peace Officers v.

Thomas used welding rods provided by Lincoln Electric, Hobart, and ESAB.<BR/><BR/>According to the plaintiff, Lincoln Electric admitted that they had known about the dangers of Manganese gas since the 1940's, but attempted to minimize the risk, rather than effectively warn. A warning label added in 1967 did not include the word "Manganese" and was not placed where the worker was likely to see it. The plaintiff asserted that this was a conscious, intentional decision to deny the worker his right to know. <BR/><BR/>Documents showed that in 1981 the America Welding Society knew that Manganese fumes were dangerous to welders even at low levels, and that safety warnings requiring "adequate" ventilation were ambiguous and did not reach the welder. Labels mentioning the word "Manganese" did not appear until the late 1990's or after 2000.<BR/><BR/>The defense argued that the industry provided ample safety warnings and ensured that adequate information was disseminated in the community at all times. "No one hid one bit of information from anybody." <BR/><BR/>In addition, according to the defendant, Thomas was never exposed to Manganese at toxic levels, and a different warning label would not have convinced Thomas not to weld because Thomas chose not to read the labels that were there.<BR/><BR/>The jury found that the defendants failed to adequately warn of the dangers, but that the lack of an adequate warning was not a substantial cause of harm to the plaintiff.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/> 280 Construction Thomas v.

Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank were supposed to finance the deals, but backed away when the credit markets deteriorated last fall. Among the claims Huntsman is pursuing are tortuous interference and common law fraud.<BR/><BR/>Hexion Chemical is owned by Leon Black's Apollo Management. In one of the most noteworthy rulings last year, Delaware Chancery Court vice-chancellor Stephen Lamb found that Hexion breached its merger agreement with Huntsman. Hexion eventually settled that litigation for $1 billion, including a $425 million cash payment to Huntsman. Apollo and Hexion are cooperating with Huntsman in this litigation.

Kornak died of respiratory complications (aspirated fluid) 17 days later.<BR/><BR/>According to the plaintiff, Kornak's lungs were clear before the first surgery, but bilateral congestion subsequently developed, and the anesthesiologists should have recognized the respiratory distress and waited a few days before placing Kornak under anesthesia for the second time, given that the procedure was elective and not urgent.<BR/><BR/>The defense argued that many anesthesiologists and other providers were involved, and their judgment at the time was not negligent. Kornak did withstand the second anesthesiology, said the defense, and he came through the surgery fine. Instead, Kornak's respiratory distress did not result from the surgery, but was caused by Kornak's underlying anatomy, which caused pulmonary hemorrages in his lungs.<BR/><BR/>The jury found in favor of the plaintiff against all defendants, and awarded total damages of approximately $4.5M.<BR/><BR/> 401 Health care Kornak v.
