A Suffolk Superior Court judge has allowed the City of Boston's lawsuit against chef Barbara Lynch to proceed. Concurrently, the iconic San Francisco restaurant House of Prime Rib is facing its own lawsuit. In a related legal matter, a judge has ruled that two private equity firms, Nautic Partners and Vistria Group, enabled 'egregious' behavior by assisting a top healthcare executive, April Anthony, in breaching her fiduciary duty. This ruling could set a precedent for future cases. Additionally, a California restaurant owner is seeking millions in damages from his chief financial officer, who has also initiated a lawsuit against the business. In another case, litigation financing company LexShares will face a discrimination suit filed by former CEO Cayse Llorens, although a federal judge dismissed claims against two board members.
