WILMINGTON, Del. — A Delaware judge on Thursday granted preliminary approval of a proposed settlement in a shareholder lawsuit against mortgage lender Countrywide Financial Corp.
Attorneys representing Countrywide shareholders in a federal lawsuit in California asked Vice Chancellor John Noble to reject the settlement, but Noble said he saw no reason to rule now on preliminary objections by one group of shareholders, when all shareholders will be given the opportunity to weigh in later.
