This is a routine contract dispute with trivial financial exposure relative to market cap. The ruling is procedural — it keeps the case alive but does not guarantee recovery. Monitor for settlement or trial outcome, but this is unlikely to move the stock.

Executive Summary
CRA International won a partial victory in its breach-of-contract lawsuit against duPont Registry Group. The court denied DRG's motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction, ruling that DRG is bound by the forum-selection clause in the consulting agreement, but dismissed CRA's Chapter 93A claim for failure to state a claim. The case will proceed on the breach-of-contract claim for $925,851.82 in unpaid invoices plus interest.
