ORDER
This 11th day of December 2015, upon consideration of the parties’ briefs,
the record below, and oral argument, it appears to the Court that:
In this case, the Court of Chancery had to apply a challenging body of law in
a hotly contested matter.1 No party has asked us to overturn any prior decision;
they solely challenge the Court of Chancery’s determinations of law under existing
1
For example, the Court of Chancery addressed three times whether the plaintiffs’ central claim
was direct or derivative under Gentile v. Rossette, 906 A.2d 91 (Del. 2006).
precedent, its determinations of fact, and its exercise of remedial discretion. After
careful review, we conclude that the Court of Chancery made no error of law,
made no determination of fact not supported by the record, and committed no
abuse of discretion.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the September 4, 2014
judgment of the Court of Chancery is AFFIRMED.2
