ITG Brands, LLC v. Reynolds American Inc.

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware refused interlocutory review of the Court of Chancery's ruling that ITG Brands could not condition its assumption of certain settlement obligations on protection from equity-fee payments. The Court held that the application did not satisfy the strict standards for interlocutory certification because the case was not exceptional and the benefits of immediate review did not outweigh the costs and disruption of piecemeal litigation.
