Delaware Court of Chancery Issues Decision on Disney Board’s Obligations in the DeSantis Dispute
On June 27, 2023, Vice Chancellor Lori Will of the Delaware Court of Chancery issued a much-anticipated decision addressing the obligations of the board of directors of The Walt Disney Company (Disney) in overseeing Disney’s response to Governor Ron DeSantis and the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, or HB 1557. In particular, the court rejected a books and records demand by a Disney stockholder seeking to investigate wrongdoing on the basis that the Disney board had breached its fiduciary duties by placing its own personal beliefs ahead of the interests of the corporation and its stockholders and taking positions that impaired the company’s value. The litigation reflects the pressures increasingly confronting corporations, and the landmark decision provides valuable guidance to boards in navigating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues and controversies.
