Rupert Murdoch will not be allowed to change his family’s trust in order to solidify control over his media empire with his eldest son Lachlan Murdoch, a Nevada commissioner recently ruled.

The ruling in question is under seal. It was authored by Probate Commissioner Edmund “Joe” Gorman, Jr., and released Saturday, according to The New York Times, who reportedly obtained a copy.

Oftentimes trenchant in both legal analysis and legal conclusions, Gorman accuses both the patriarch and his oldest adult son of acting in “bad faith” by attempting to pull off a “carefully crafted charade.”
