| U.S. judge questions shareholder settlement with HP over Autonomy | |  District Judge Charles Breyer rejected several million dollars in fees that shareholder attorneys would have recouped under the settlement.

HP announced a $8.8 billion writedown in November 2012, just over one year after buying Autonomy, and linked more than $5 billion to accounting fraud and inflated financials by Autonomy executives. Under the terms of the settlement reached in June, shareholder attorneys agreed to drop all claims against HP's current and former executives, including Whitman, board members and advisers to the company.
