Supreme Court of Delaware
Twitter, Inc. v. 1 Oak Private Equity
January 5, 2016
Summary
The Supreme Court of Delaware refused Twitter’s petition for interlocutory review of the Superior Court’s denial of Twitter’s motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim or, alternatively, forum non conveniens. The Court agreed that the likely benefits of interlocutory review did not outweigh its probable costs because the Superior Court had applied settled Delaware law and no novel or exceptional issue warranted disrupting the litigation. The Superior Court’s merits rulings therefore remained undisturbed.
