Disney in moral legal mess , During the Feb. 10 deposition, Simeone counsel Bellew blocked Disney questions about how Simeone’s lawyers are being paid. But in a Feb. 28 interrogatory response Disney cited in its last pre-trial brief, Simeone disclosed that Thomas More is paying Jonna’s legal fees, albeit at a discounted rate. (Delaware counsel Bellew is not receiving fees from Thomas More.) Thomas More will be paid back if the Delaware court ends up awarding fees to Simeone’s lawyers.Disney has said in its briefs that it respects the rights of Simeone’s lawyers “to hold and pursue their own religious, political and cultural views” and has only highlighted their affiliations to show that Thomas More and the lawyers are driving the case.But I’m sure the company is not looking forward being accused in courtroom arguments on Wednesday of smearing Catholic lawyers in the defense of a corporate values that advances progressive values at the expense of shareholder interests$Walt Disney(DIS)$
