Last week, the Delaware Supreme Court issued an important decision effectively broadening the scope of stockholder pre-litigation inspection rights.
In January 2020, the Court of Chancery held in
Lebanon County Employees’ Retirement Fund v. AmerisourceBergen Corp. that demanding stockholders had established a proper purpose under Section 220 of the Delaware GCL to inspect AmerisourceBergen’s books and records and ordered,
