Delaware Supreme Court: CA/AFSCME Certification Accepted and on Fast Track
Yesterday, the Delaware Supreme Court accepted the questions certified to it by the SEC relating to the battle between CA and AFSCME over the proponent’s binding bylaw proposal seeking reimbursement for third-party solicitations. The Court sure didn’t lose any time taking the case – and look at the quick briefing and argument schedule they have set (given CA’s mailing date is July 17th, this was necessary): briefs are due on Monday, July 7; oral argument is scheduled for July 9. We will have a guest blogger giving us news live from the hearing.
We have posted the Supreme Court’s order in the “Shareholder Proposal” Practice Area on TheCorporateCounsel.net.
