Delaware Chancery Court Chief Judge Kathaleen St. J. McCormick said in a letter Monday that she will reassign multiple Musk-related cases to other judges. Musk’s attorneys wrote to the court last week alleging that she signaled her support for a LinkedIn post celebrating Musk’s defeat in a California civil fraud trial, in which a jury found the billionaire defrauded Twitter Inc. shareholders before acquiring the platform in 2022.
