NEW YORK, March 28 (Reuters) - Blackwells Capital is
ratcheting up the pressure on Walt Disney ( DIS ) in a bruising
boardroom battle by suing the entertainment giant in Delaware
court for information that may point to possible disclosure
violations in dealings with hedge fund ValueAct Capital.
The suit is the latest chapter in a fight over who will sit
on Disney's ( DIS ) board and help guide the home of Mickey Mouse in
business and personnel decisions. Blackwells and another hedge
fund, Trian Fund Management, are trying to persuade investors to
elect their director candidates while Disney ( DIS ) is backing its own
directors.
