How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that a 70-days’ notice bylaw was inequitable in a situation where the board announced the annual meeting only 63 days before it was to occur, rendering compliance impossible
  • invalidating bylaw provisions that permitted the board to “prevent the plaintiff and his group from placing the names of their candidates in nomination”
  • corporate action may not be upheld where that action was unnecessary under the circumstances — as was the timing of self-tender here — and had the dual effect of thwarting shareholder opposition and perpetuating management in office
