Judge Sides With Redstones In Round One of CBS Lawsuit

Network declares it will prevail in court

A Delaware judge has denied CBS Corp.’s bid for a temporary restraining order as part of a lawsuit the network filed against controlling owner National Amusements Inc. (NAI) and its owners, Sumner Redstone and his daughter Shari Redstone.

“We are pleased by the court’s decision to deny CBS and its special committee’s unprecedented motion to try to deprive a shareholder of its fundamental voting rights,” NAI said in a statement. “As we intend to demonstrate as the case proceeds, the actions of CBS and its special committee amount to a grievous breach of fiduciary duties and show no regard for the significant risk posed to CBS and its investors.”
