A claim by former On-Line shareholder against Computer Associates resulted in a 2002 award of $5.7 million "because of violations committed during its 1991 acquisition of On-Line Software International Inc." CA was also ordered to pay "interest of $4.6 million" for the decade plus since 1991.[6][7]
