Supreme Court of Delaware

Equity Trust Company v. Interactive Brokers LLC

October 26, 2018

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed dismissal of Equity Trust Company’s breach-of-contract claim. It held that the service agreement required closing fees only when individual customer retirement accounts were closed, not merely when Interactive Brokers declined to renew the agreement and replaced Equity Trust as trustee. The complaint did not support a rational inference that the accounts had been closed.
