How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• explaining that a request for declaratory relief does not support jurisdiction unless “there is an[] underlying basis for equity jurisdiction”
• finding that a claim for impending—and, for the plaintiff, catastrophic—breach and request for injunctive relief invoked equitable jurisdiction
• opining that the Court of Chancery should have allowed leave to file an amendment and considering the substance of the denied amendment in making their determination
• explaining that the Declaratory Judgment Act only provides this Court with jurisdiction over claims for declaratory relief where “there is any underlying basis for equity jurisdiction”
• noting that the Court of Chancery has jurisdiction “if there is any underlying basis for equity jurisdiction measured by traditional standards” and finding such a basis existed because “ultimate coercive relief would be inj unctive”
• stating this Court “has jurisdiction in a declaratory judgment action if there is any underlying basis for equity jurisdiction measured by traditional standards”
