Autonomy Trial Ex-Autonomy CEO Mike Lynch’s counterclaim against HPE, amid their ongoing legal battle over HP's ill-fated $11bn acquisition of Autonomy in 2011, will fail – because it was filed against the wrong legal entity, HPE’s barrister boldly claimed in court this afternoon.

Stating that Lynch’s £121m ($160m) counterclaim was in actual fact against Autonomy, over statements made in 2012 by Hewlett Packard regarding its $8.8bn writedown of the merger, barrister Laurence Rabinowitz QC told the High Court: “All in relation to statements made by HP. Not Autonomy.”
