The Short Road Home From Delaware: Boilermakers Local 154 Retirement Fund V. Chevron, Anne Tucker
The Short Road Home From Delaware: Boilermakers Local 154 Retirement Fund V. Chevron, Anne Tucker
Anne Tucker
One of the biggest Delaware Supreme Court cases of 2013 wasn’t. The Delaware Court of Chancery opinion in Boilermakers Local 154 Retirement Fund v. Chevron Corp., upheld the enforceability of Delaware forum selection clause bylaws unilaterally adopted by corporate boards of directors. It was widely expected that the Delaware Supreme Court would uphold the Court of Chancery’s opinion. However, Plaintiffs dismissed their appeal and moved to dismiss their remaining claims in the Court of Chancery, leaving intact Chancellor Strine’s strong support of forum selection clauses. National Industries Group (Holding) v. Carlyle Investment Managements L.L.C. and TC Group, L.L.C., a 2013 …
Who's The Boss? Unmasking Oversight Liability Within The Corporate Power Puzzle, Anne Tucker
Who's The Boss? Unmasking Oversight Liability Within The Corporate Power Puzzle, Anne Tucker
Anne Tucker
This article explores the competing interests between director authority and accountability within the doctrinal developments underpinning the arguments for and against director oversight liability. The historic losses suffered by companies entangled in the web of subprime mortgages, collateralized debt holdings, and the ensuing credit crisis have brought the role of corporate directors as risk managers under renewed public scrutiny. Directors' authority and their accountability to shareholders are two critical pieces to striking the appropriate balance among the roles, rights, and responsibilities of directors, officers, shareholders, and other corporate constituencies who operate within the corporate power puzzle. Numerous shareholder derivative suits …

Sticking The Landing: Making The Most Of The “Stakeholder Moment”, Kent Greenfield
Sticking The Landing: Making The Most Of The “Stakeholder Moment”, Kent Greenfield
Kent Greenfield
This paper illustrates that the shareholder primacy model is still the prevailing model especially as the proponents of the stakeholder model have not come up with a theoretically sound alternative.

Homogeneity on corporate boards can reinforce thinking that leads to bad decision making. The findings of various researchers into behavioural economics are considered. It is pointed out that the interests of the shareholders are rarely, if ever, the same as those of other stakeholders. This supports the idea that …
Are Shareholders Owners? Absolutely. And Absolutely Not, Kent Greenfield
Are Shareholders Owners? Absolutely. And Absolutely Not, Kent Greenfield
Kent Greenfield
Shareholder ownership is in reality ‘shareholder primacy,’ or ‘shareholder supremacy.’ An excessive focus on shareholder interests encourages managerial decisions that are overly risky from society’s perspective. Including broader stakeholder concerns at the senior level of corporate decision making will help roll back the short-termism of corporations.
