Supreme Court of New Jersey

R.A. Feuer v. Merck (081409) (Union County and Statewide)

May 15, 2019

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division’s judgment, holding that the shareholder’s request for a broad array of corporate documents exceeded the scope of the inspection right granted by N.J.S.A. 14A:5-28 and that the common law does not provide a remedy in these circumstances. The Court relied on the statutory language and established common‑law principles to reject the plaintiff’s demands.
