Ex-Hewlett-Packard Co. Chief Executive Officer Mark Hurd asked a Delaware judge to allow him to intervene in a shareholder’s lawsuit so he can fight to keep a sealed letter about his departure confidential.
Hurd, 53, under investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission over his separation from the company in August, told Delaware Chancery Judge Donald Parsons Jr. that his name should be added to the suit seeking company books and records because the letter from lawyer Gloria Allred is personal and his alone, according to court papers filed today.
