It also asked that the directors be made to pay back to the company all money they have spent for that purpose. "This is not a tactical maneuver nor a strike (nuisance) suit," Young told a news conference. "It means business." The suit asked-the court to adjudge as improper the hiring by Central of a publicity firm and a firm of professional proxy solicitors to help the directors in their fight.
