Supreme Court of Delaware

Olenik v. Lodzinski

April 11, 2019

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of the disclosure claims but held that the complaint adequately pleaded that substantive economic negotiations began before the controller and board put the required procedural protections in place. It also held that the complaint adequately pleaded continued controller status and therefore reversed dismissal of the remaining fiduciary-duty claims and remanded. The court applied de novo review to the dismissal ruling.
