Following a four-day trial, the Delaware Chancery Court issued a 101-page opinion in favor of BSF client Lerner Master Fund in a lawsuit against hedge fund manager Paige Capital Management, which had invoked contractual hedge fund gates to block Lerner from redeeming its $40 million seed investment in Paige.
The Court found Paige liable for breach of contract and breach of its fiduciary duty of loyalty to Lerner, and ordered it to return Lerner’s capital immediately with interest; refund all management and incentive fees received during the litigation; and return all legal fees it advanced to itself from the hedge fund. The Court dismissed all of Paige Capital’s claims against Lerner.
