Lawsuit slams Delphi

More Mess at Delphi
The Tort of Deepening Insolvency?


Institutional investors have filed lawsuits claiming misleading accounting at Delphi.

I don't know the specifics of the legal claims raised so far, but I suspect there will be more in the future. I recently attended an Indiana Law Update CLE seminar in which the "tort of deepening insolvency" was discussed. Huh? What's that. It's the tort directors and management commits when a company is insolvent, can't become solvent and keeps in business anyway. Invariably some creditors come out better than others. I have a hunch that we will all learn more about the tort of deepening insolvency just by following the progession of the Delphi case.
