Anthem has filed a motion with the Delaware Court of Chancery for a preliminary injunction that would prevent Cigna from terminating their $54 billion merger on April 30 – the health insurance giants’ contractual deadline, according to a Law360 report.

A brief detailing the company’s argument remained under seal late last week, along with many other motions and documents submitted by the two companies in the Chancery proceedings.
