A Delaware Court of Chancery judge on Oct. 13 criticized Abrams & Bayliss attorneys for pulling an about-face in a corporate dispute over the composition of the Roma Restaurant Holdings board.

Vice Chancellor Tamika Montgomery-Reeves accused lawyers from the Wilmington law firm of “impermissible gamesmanship,” after they reversed an earlier decision not to defend the validity of stock issues that would have given their clients two seats on the restaurant operator’s board.
