HP Enterprise CEO Antonio Neri has defended the “difficult” decision to continue pursuing the $4B civil litigation against the estate of Mike Lynch following his death, claiming the move was “in the best interest of shareholders,” Michael Acton of The Financial Times reports. Last month, Lynch and his daughter were among seven people who died when his family’s yacht sank while the group was celebrating Lynch’s acquittal on U.S. fraud charges related to Hewlett-Packard’s $11.7B purchase of Autonomy. Neri said the acquittal and Lynch’s death had not altered the effort to pursue a separate civil claim over the acquisition.
