Supreme Court of Connecticut

Benjamin v. Island Management, LLC

November 2, 2021341 Conn. 189

Summary

The court affirmed the judgment requiring the manager-managed LLC to permit inspection of the requested records. It held that the LLC inspection statute does not require a member investigating possible mismanagement to present credible proof of wrongdoing, although courts may consider the factual basis for the request when assessing its scope and reasonableness. The court also held that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in finding the requested information directly connected to proper purposes and that the operating agreement independently authorized inspection of employee compensation records.
