Brinckerhoff v. Enbridge Energy Company Inc., C.A. 5526-VCN (May 25, 2012)

This is an interesting decision because it suggests a remedy other than damages in an unfair price case.  Once a deal has closed, the plaintiff may find that his remedies in a pure unfair price claim are limited.  Frequently, damages against directors are foreclosed by an exculpation clause. Here the Court suggests that, at least when the merger consideration is not just cash, reformation may be an available remedy.  Given that has happened just once, it may be a long shot at best.

This decision was upheld by the Supreme Court on May 28, 2013. 67 A3d 369.
