Hewlett Packard Enterprise will continue its claim for damages against the estate of a deceased British tech mogul, despite his recent death in a yacht accident. The UK High Court ruled in favor of the US technology company in a fraud case involving the mogul and his former finance director. The company is seeking up to $4 billion in damages, with a final decision expected soon. The mogul’s widow may be liable for the damages. The yacht accident occurred before the ruling, and the mogul was acquitted in a separate US criminal trial related to the case.
