WILMINGTON, Delaware—A Delaware judge said she will grant a January trial requested by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, if it agrees to certain conditions, to resolve claims that billionaire Jimmy Haslam tried to improperly inflate his stake in a truck stop chain.
Vice Chancellor Morgan Zurn of Delaware’s Court of Chancery said in a Friday ruling that efficiency favored hearing Berkshire’s allegations next month alongside a Jan. 8–9 trial over claims by the Haslam family that Berkshire was deflating the value of Pilot Travel Centers.
