The Tesla directors denied wrongdoing as part of the accord, but said they agreed to settle the case “to eliminate the uncertainty, risk, burden, and expense of further litigation,” according to the July 14 filing in Delaware Chancery Court .
Tesla didn’t immediately respond to a request to comment Monday. Delaware Chancery Court Chief Judge Kathaleen St. J. McCormick still must approve the deal for it to become final. The case is the Police and Fire Retirement System of Detroit v. Musk, 2020-0477, Delaware Chancery Court .
