Judge Dismisses Del Rio Suit Against NCLH With Prejudice
Frank Del Rio’s lawsuit against Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings and four former directors has been thrown out, as a Miami judge dismissed the case with prejudice and entering final judgment for the defendants in late August.
Circuit Judge Mavel Ruiz signed the order on Sept. 8, closing the case less than four months after the former NCLH president and CEO filed suit over an alleged $8 million shortfall in his post-retirement consulting pay.
The order followed an Aug. 26 hearing on separate motions to dismiss brought by the corporate defendants, NCLH and NCL (Bahamas) Ltd., and by the individual defendants, former directors Russell Galbut, Harry Curtis, Mary Landry and Stella David.
