Insights: The Delaware Edition

In this issue we discuss how plaintiffs are finding creative ways to obtain books and records, and appraisal cases where Delaware courts held that fair value rose between signing and closing.

Finally, we analyze conflicting federal circuit court decisions involving exclusive forum bylaws that required derivative actions to be filed in Delaware courts — a split that leaves the enforceability of such bylaws in question where they involve Securities Exchange Act claims.
