Both parties hope to resolve Block Communications lawsuit quickly
Attorneys for both sides of the Block Communications, Inc. lawsuit were in agreement on one item in court Friday — they want to get the matter wrapped up as quickly as possible. “We don’t want to spend money on litigation,” Robert S. Faxon, an attorney for BCI, told visiting Judge Jonathan Hein in Lucas County Common Pleas Court. “You see all the lawyers in the room. We want to spend it on the company.” On May 8, Allan Block filed a motion seeking a preliminary injunction to prevent BCI, his brother John Robinson Block, and other members of the family from potentially selling the business. Block Communications is the parent company of The Blade and Buckeye Broadband, among other companies. In the lawsuit, Allan Block wanted to be placed on the committee exploring the possible sale of the company, to stop the committee from exploring the possible sale of the business until he was placed on the committee, and to prevent corporate funds from being spent by the committee until he was made a member of the committee.
