The life and adventures of Unocal - Part I: Moore the marrier

Article Abstract:

The Delaware Supreme Court's decision in Unocal Corp. v. Mesa Petroleum Co. apparently added a third fiduciary duty standard applied to corporate directors' actions when their corporations are targets of takeover bids. The standard developed over a dozen-year period during which a dialogue between the Delaware Supreme Court and Court of Chancery occurred. The standard is likely to continue to develop with changes in circumstances.

Article Abstract:

The Delaware Supreme Court, in the cases of Unocal Corp. v. Meas Petroleum Co. and Moran v. Household International, Inc. established standards of review for corporate directors defense actions against a takeover bid.
