Will at least one Apple shareholder file a suit against Apple with regards Job's illness?

Settled as No

No suit filed

Background:

Background: Steve Jobs has stepped down from the day-to-day running of Apple resulting in a 5% drop in the company's share price. Bloomberg described the situation as:

“Mr. Jobs has an unusual and complicated medical condition,” Grundfest said. “When conditions are complicated, physicians have difficulty making clear decisions.”

Still, the pressure now is on Apple’s board to provide more information on the events leading up to Jobs’s decision to take leave, said James Post, a professor of management at Boston University.

“Has Steve Jobs and Apple’s board played fair with investors? There are a lot of unhappy and dissatisfied investors who are going to say the answer is no,” Post said. “The board members may not really answer the question of what did they know and when did they know it until there’s a discovery process in a lawsuit.”


Will a lawsuit be filed before the end of March?

Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source. Lawsuit must be filed by the end of March.
