The trial dealing with the leadership dispute at New England supermarket chain Market Basket got underway today at a Delaware courthouse.
Fired CEO Arthur T. Demoulas is fighting to get his old job back, while the company’s board of directors is looking to have the court uphold their decision to terminate his job earlier this year.
Boston Globe business reporter Jon Chesto is in Delaware to cover the trial. He joined NBC10 Boston’s podcast, Food Feud: Market Basket, to give us a recap of what happened in court on Tuesday.
Chesto said that most of the day Tuesday was spent hearing testimony from board chair, Jay Hachigian.
“Jay says that the sisters have been sort of kept in the dark on the corporate finances for awhile,” Chesto said. “From Arthur’s perspective, his lawyer said, well, you know, his CFO has been sharing information at your request.“
Following testimony and cross-examination of Hachigian, a video deposition of Caren Demoulas was played, which will resume when court begins Wednesday morning.
“Basically she was saying how much she… loved her brother and it was sad to see the family fraying in this way,” Chesto said.
Arthur T. Demoulas is expected to testify in the trial as soon as Wednesday. The proceedings are not expected to go past Thursday.
