I don't know the details but if they have contractual claims Vongae have a duty on behalf of their share holders to sue.

If I were a director of Vonage and my boss the shareholders could possibly come after me in some manner for negligence if for example the company now sinks. So not only do I want to avoid exposing myself to being unable to be a director (if it were the UK) for a while, prison or huge payouts to the actual shareholders or sue people who were in breach of contract what would I do.

Gosh that is such a tough quesiton.

Any one else noticed how many slashdots turn into debates on the law?
