On: Benchmark Capital Sues Travis Kalanick for Fraud

> My assumption is that both parties will settle quickly but I could be wrong.

What makes you think that?

There is so much for both to lose if they delay - a settlement works better for the company and them

Eh? This is over control, not money. There is no "middle ground"; Benchmark wants Kalanick off the board and he wants to stay.

I expect a tooth-and-nail battle, with much of it leaking into the public.

1) CEO/leadership Search

2) Softbank investing in US rideshare market

both are large events, and the outcomes of both events will be much worse in the case of an ongoing legal battle between shareholders and founder/ex-CEO.
