Del Rio Defends Fraud Claims Against NCLH Board
Frank Del Rio has narrowed his lawsuit against Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings and four of its former directors while defending the core of his case against two motions to dismiss, according to a recent cour filing..
In a filing dated Aug. 18 in Miami-Dade Circuit Court, the former NCLH president and CEO argued that his claims sound in tort rather than contract and that neither the statute of frauds nor the business judgment rule bars them.
In a separate notice filed the same day, Del Rio voluntarily dismissed Count II of his complaint, a promissory estoppel claim, without prejudice, with each side bearing its own fees and costs.
