Grundfest's independence, as a member of the Special Litigation Committee, was particularly scrutinized (and found questionable) by the Delaware Chancery Court because of Oracle's ties to Grundfest's alma mater and employer, Stanford University. 824 A.2d 917, 946. In 2010 Grundfest filed an affidavit with the US District Court in ''SEC v. Bank of America Corporation'' (No. 1-09-cv-06829), complaint under cause of action of Securities Fraud.〔Grundfest's Affidavit in ''SEC v.

Grundfest's affidavit supported the Settlement Agreement then before the Court, which was eventually rejected. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joseph Grundfest」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
