Overview
- Demoulas filed a roughly 90-page response and counterclaim in Delaware’s Court of Chancery answering the board’s prior 35-page lawsuit.
- He is asking the court to declare the board’s actions unlawful and to reinstate him, and he is not seeking monetary damages.
- The counterclaim alleges the remaining directors colluded with his three sisters, who hold a majority stake, and manufactured work-stoppage claims through conflicted or shallow investigations.
- The board’s complaint accuses him of waging “guerilla warfare,” ignoring oversight, and being investigated for a potential walkout reminiscent of 2014.
- The board called his allegations untrue in a statement, and the case is scheduled for trial in Delaware in December.
