Among the multitude of court decisions on DGCL Section 220 highlighted on these pages, a rare bird is the shifting of fees by the court based on the bad-faith exception to the American Rule. In a rare instance that should not be considered anything other than unusual, the Court of Chancery recently granted, in a transcript ruling, fee shifting in a books and records action in which the court found that there was no justification for the refusal to provide LLC managers with requested books and records, and that the defendant LLC acted in bad faith by withholding those company records. See Crestview-Oxbow Acquisition, LLC, et al. v. Oxbow Carbon, LLC, C.A. No. 2018-0654-JTL, transcript (Del. Ch. Jan. 15, 2019; filed Jan. 31, 2019).
