Maxwell v. KPMG, LLP
(DBN Subscription Required) |
7th Cir. |
In a suit brought by a Chapter 7 bankruptcy trustee alleging that the bankrupt company was harmed by an accounting firm's breach of its duty of care, summary judgment for defendant is affirmed where: 1) even assuming that defendant was negligent in its statement of the company's earnings, that statement was not the cause of an ill-fated business decision entered into by the company; and 2) the evidence presented did not support the claim for damages. Defendant is authorized to seek attorney's fees in the district court. |
