Shipbuilders oppose engineer's request for leave to amend US no-poach case

( March 12, 2026, 23:00 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: Shipbuilders filed an opposition to naval engineer Susan Scharpf's motion for leave to file an amended US no-poach complaint, which if granted would add an additional engineer — Harry Forster — as a plaintiff, arguing the engineers were instructed by a Virginia federal court nearly six months ago to file any amended complaint "as soon as possible" and failed to do so. Scharpf also does not inform the court that her counsel has represented Forster for more than two years, the filing in the Eastern District of Virginia said.
