REVLON AND UNOCAL ENHANCED SCRUTINY REJECTED FOR DISSOLUTION PLAN
By Kevin P. Stichter and Nathan Harrill
In Huff Energy Fund v. Gershen, C.A. No. 11116-VCS, the Delaware Court of Chancery dismissed a stockholder’s challenge to the board of director’s decision to dissolve the company following an asset sale. The Court ruled that the enhanced scrutiny standards of Revlon and Unocal do not supplant the business judgment rule in the context of a company’s decision to dissolve.
