Chesapeake Will Have to Face Lawsuit Over Underpayment of Royalties in Ohio

From Bloomberg:
Chesapeake Energy Corp. (CHK) must face an Ohio lawsuit over allegations the company underpaid gas royalties for years, an appeals court said, reinstating the case.
The lawsuit, brought as a class action on behalf of Ohio leaseholders, alleges that a Chesapeake predecessor company began by 1993 to “deliberately and fraudulently underpay the full gas royalty due” and that Oklahoma City-based Chesapeake continued the practice after taking over the leases in 2005.
