Delaware Supreme Court Theater Ruling Addresses Party's Deposition Demeanor

It's a fight that pits Carole Shorenstein Hays, the owner of San Francisco's Curran Theatre, against San Francisco theater owner Robert Nederlander. He claims that Hays improperly competed to put on the musical Dear Evan Hansen and the play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, in violation of an LLC agreement governing another theater company in San Francisco, Shorenstein Hays-Nederlander Theatres LLC (SHN), that the parties jointly own.
