Court of Chancery Permits Suit for Trustee to Proceed

Zutrau v. Jansing, C.A. 7457-VCP (March 18, 2013)

This decision permits a suit to proceed that seeks the appointment of a trustee for a solvent corporation based on allegations of breach of fiduciary duty.  That may be particularly unusual for prior decisions have required that there be a prior adjudication of a serious breach of duty before an action seeking a trustee might be filed. Perhaps here the gross breaches of duty alleged were enough to convince the Court to let the action go to trial.
