Case: Individual Employment Rights/Contracts (D. Del.)

A Delaware federal district court granted in part and denied in part DNSFilter’s motion for summary judgment, ruling that a company co-founder and board member’s claim that severance and stock repurchase agreements were unenforceable due to duress failed because he ratified the agreements by accepting severance pay and waiting nearly three years to challenge them, but denied summary judgment on the co-founder’s remaining claims of fraudulent inducement, conversion, civil conspiracy, and unjust enrichment because the anti-reliance clause in the non-negotiated severance agreement did not preclude claims of fraudulent misrepresentation under Delaware law.
