Executive Summary
Canadian diagnostics company Skye Pharmatech has filed suit in an Ontario court, claiming that an alleged campaign orchestrated by some of the board of directors of a rival Canadian diagnostic company, Spectral Diagnostics, derailed Skye's initial public offering (IPO) in March. The IPO achieved less than a third of its expected sum - raising just Can+ACQ-1.8 million rather than the predicted Can+ACQ-6.5 million. Spectral has vehemently denied the claim and says that it will fight the lawsuit vigorously.
