The law firm Bragar, Eagel & Squire PC is seeking clients for a potential lawsuit against the KCS Board for failing in its fiduciary duty to KCS shareholders in connection with the CN deal. What that failing could be, I have no idea.
Probably some part of it is in approving the CN deal after agreeing to the CP deal before the issue could be discussed and voted on at the annual meeting. And it's probably too late to organize a proper proxy fight before then...
I'd also... just on paranoia grounds... see who TCI uses as their American legal representation...
I woder how much of any settlement will end up in the hands of the shareholders as opposed to the lawyers?
It will really not matter. STB chairman Oberman has thrown cold water on any future mergers. So the lawyers are going after the "money" since they cannot find any amulances to chase. Don't hold your breath waithing for this merger to take place.

Oooooo, cold! But probably true.
And now another law firm has joined the party.

Case will be dismissed. Their web page indicates the lawsuit was filed entirely on speculation as a fishing expedition. See here....

Anyone remember a TV show from the 1980's called "LA Law?" A good show, very enjoyable, sharply written and produced with a great ensemble cast.
Anyway, after the show had been on for a while there was a "TV Guide" article featuring several prominent attorneys and what they thought about the show. The only comment I remember was one from F. Lee Bailey. He liked the show and thought it was very authentic in showing how a big law firm operated. Except for one thing. I quote:
"They don't show the money-grubbing."
Another one is Grisham's "The King of Torts". It's a novel, but some lawyers have told how accurate it is concerning the huge money awards.

tree68, I think that firm's offices are just up Grifter Avenue from the offices of Shake, Down & Gloat, PA.
Small-timers. For serious self-enrichment look to Roger, Futter & Swive.
(Incidentally, the father of partner John Thomas Roger worked for Southern Pacific and was the model for a Yardbirds album cover -- proudly aware that the title was not his name but a verb.)
11 additional law firms have joined the queue seeking clients for potential lawsuits against the KCS Board.

think this is usual practice in specific legal circies - a deal is announced - the specialty law firms check the SEC filings and look for holes and reasons to sue.
