Ingres Corporation, a Delaware Corporation, Defendant Below, Appellant v. Ca, Inc., a Delaware Corporation…

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Court of Chancery's judgment enforcing broad contractual forum-selection clauses and enjoining Ingres from pursuing related claims in California. The court held that the parties' valid contractual choice of forum displaced the ordinary discretionary rule favoring a stay based on a parallel action elsewhere, and that Ingres had not shown the clauses to be unreasonable, unjust, or invalid.
