David A. Handler v. Centerview Partners Holdings LP

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware reversed the dismissal of Handler's counterclaims for breach of the 2008 Letter, breach of the implied covenant, and unjust enrichment. It held that the prior judgment deciding Handler was not a partner did not necessarily decide the terms of his compensation as an employee, and therefore did not collaterally estop those claims. The court remanded for further proceedings in the Court of Chancery.
