The complaint was originally filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery under seal, and Gore's attorney David Boies released a statement on the filing that slammed Al Jazeera over an alleged attempt “to give itself a discount on the purchase price that was agreed to nearly two years ago.”


In reaction, Al Jazeera labeled Boies’ comments “misleading” and said that the fight was an “ordinary commercial dispute,” but Al Jazeera didn’t do much to take the tussle beyond a war of PR spin.
