Dell Inc. Chief Executive Officer Michael Dell and other company directors were sued by an investor over claims the computer maker’s board is shortchanging shareholders in a $24.4 billion management-led buyout.

Dell, who owns more than 15 percent of the third-biggest computer maker, abused his status as the company’s top executive and board chairman by leading the buyout, lawyers for Dell investor Catherine Christner said yesterday in a lawsuit filed in Delaware Chancery Court.
