Supreme Court of Delaware

Northern Star Sponsor, LLC v. Kenville

January 15, 2026

Summary

The Supreme Court refused to accept an interlocutory appeal from the Court of Chancery's class-certification ruling in a fiduciary-duty action arising from a de-SPAC merger. The Court agreed that the strict certification standards were not satisfied because the ruling did not present a substantial issue warranting immediate review, exceptional circumstances were absent, and the likely costs and disruption outweighed any benefits.
