Summary
Earth Enterprises Inc. and two affiliated investment entities have filed suit in the Delaware Court of Chancery against former company chief Philippe Meynard, according to a Law360 report dated October 15, 2026. The plaintiffs are seeking to block Meynard from expanding an arbitration proceeding pending in Massachusetts.

The complaint further accuses Meynard of concealing the loss of Walmart business before a 2021 sale of the company. Earth also alleges that after the sale, Meynard put his own interests ahead of those of Earth Enterprises. The original report is a summary of the filing, and the article is partially paywalled, so additional details such as damages sought or the defendants' response are not available in the source material.

The dispute ties a corporate governance and disclosure question to a pending arbitration, and the Delaware filing signals that the plaintiffs are seeking court intervention to contain the scope of that arbitration.
