Summary of this case from Amalgamated Bank v. Yahoo! Inc.Opinion
No. 638, 2002
Submitted: February 19, 2003
Decided: March 7, 2003
Court Below: Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County C.A. No. 18553
Before WALSH, BERGER and HOLLAND, Justices.
ORDER
This 7th day of March 2003, upon careful consideration of the briefs submitted in this matter the Court concludes that the Court of Chancery's decision of September 20, 2002 setting the limits of discovery in this matter was an appropriate implementation of the appellee's entitlement to discovery established under this Court's decision in Saito v. McKesson, HBOC, Inc., 806 A.2d 113 (Del. 2002). To the extent that the Court of Chancery exercised its discretion in defining the scope of discovery in an on-going Section 220 proceeding in that court, we review that ruling under an abuse of discretion standard. Security First Corp. v. U.S. Die Casting Dev. Co., 687 A.2d 563 (Del. 1997). Upon review of the record, we find no abuse of discretion.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Court of Chancery be, and the same hereby is, AFFIRMED.
