How courts have described this case

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

  • In Tooley, the Supreme Court of Delaware “revised the standard for determining whether a claim is direct or derivative.”
  • “[Ujnder Tooley, the duty of the court is to look at the nature of the wrong alleged, not merely at the form of words used in the complaint.”
  • “Even after Tooley, a claim is not ‘direct’ simply because it is pleaded that way, and mentioning a merger does not talismanically create a direct action. Instead, the court must look to all the facts of the complaint and determine for itself whether a direct claim exists.”
