Court Of Chancery Rejects Compensation Claim

Zucker v. Andreessen, C.A. 6014-VCP (June 21, 2012)

This is a run -of -the mill dismissal of a derivative suit for failure to justify the lack of demand on the board, but with a twist.  For the decision highlights just how hard it is to show that a board is liable for paying an executive too much.  Hence, curbs on compensation are left to the stockholders' vote to control.
