Amarin Corp Plc (AMRN)

Yes, the part you quote is potentially a bad fact for Karim and a ripe ground for cross-examination. If Amarin credibly establishes that the Proxy fight was the Proxy fight, heat of battle stuff, but the victors wanted to come together afterward only to be rebuffed by Karim, the jury could penalize Karim as the unreasonable bad guy.

In these types of cases the plaintiff is under an enhanced burden to have clean hands and be perceived as the victim. If both sides are perceived as jerks, the advantage goes to the defense because the plaintiff bears the burden of proof.
