Highlights & Analysis of Key Decisions from Delaware's Supreme Court & Court of Chancery

Forum Selection Bylaw Provision Case: Appeal to Supreme Court Dismissed

By Francis Pileggi on October 16, 2013
Posted in Chancery Court Updates, Delaware Supreme Court Updates

We previously highlighted the Court of Chancery decision that upheld a forum selection provision in corporate bylaws that required certain suits involving the internal affairs of the corporation to be filed in Delaware. Boilermakers Local 154 Retirement Fund v. Chevron Corporation, C.A. No. 7220-CS (Del. Ch. June 25, 2013).
Professor Larry Hamermesh writes about the voluntary dismissal yesterday of the appeal of that decision by the plaintiffs, and likely ramifications of that dismissal regarding this important issue.

UPDATE: The good professor provides an update on his commentary.
