Wynn Resorts Ltd. wants its lawsuit against Japanese billionaire Kazuo Okada sent back to Nevada state court, arguing its removal to federal court was part of a “scheme to manipulate the legal process and to forum shop.”
Wynn said in a request filed in federal court yesterday in Las Vegas that its claims of breach of fiduciary against Okada involve only state law issues. Okada moved the case to federal court to avoid having it heard by the same state court judge who ruled against him in his attempt to gain access to Wynn’s books and records, according to the filing.
