Lehmans: Barclays took billions too much

Lehman Brothers has accused Barclays Capital of taking $8.2bn more than it should have when it bought key assets of the failed investment bank a year ago.

Lehman made its claim in a court filing yesterday, the one-year anniversary of its chaotic bankruptcy filing. The court approved the sale of its US banking business to Barclays less than a week after it filed.
