NEWS Equipment manufacturer Marconi has been hit by a lawsuit just days after losing its CEO and watching its share price slump by 50 per cent. Two US firms are taking legal action accusing Marconi of making, "false and misleading statements" in breach of the Securities Exchange Act. The two firms, Berger and Montague, of Philadelphia and Alfred G Yates Jr of Pittsburgh have filed the claim on behalf of investors. Marconi boss Lord Simpson, finance director Steve Hare and ex-CEO John Mayo are all named in the suit. Marconi is today meeting officials from unions to discuss UK redundancies.
