• holding that a joint venture existed where an employment contract “establish[ed] a relationship more similar to a partnership than a typical employer/employee relationship”
• finding that the parties were at an impasse based on evidence including that they had “not interacted since their falling out” a year before and their “open hostility” toward one another
• ordering dissolution under Delaware’s “not reasonably practicable” standard where the LLC, while continuing to “technically function[ ],” existed under a “residual, inertial status quo”
• declining to consign parties to contractual exit mechanism where it was ―not equitable to force [one 50% owner] to use the exit mechanism in this circumstance‖
• finding deadlock where there was “strident” disagreement over how to manage the asset of the LLC and open hostility between two 50% members of an LLC
• granting a petition to dissolve a limited liability company where the company’s two, 50% member/managers were in “deadlock . . . about the business strategy and future of” the company
