Decisions

• In re Reinz Wisconsin Gasket, LLC (2023). After a paper-record trial, the Court of Chancery held that petitioner Linda Cook showed good cause to appoint a receiver for the cancelled gasket company Reinz Wisconsin Gasket, LLC over its objection, deferred ruling on nullifying the certificate of cancellation, and ordered that she bear any unpaid receiver fees.
• Aiu Insurance Company v. Philips Electronics North America Corporation (2018). The court denied the motions to dismiss and for summary judgment on Counts I-V (audit right) because Section 2.3 is ambiguous, and granted PENAC, THAN and the Trust's motions to dismiss Count VI (offset rights), so the insurers lost Count VI.
• Viking Pump, Inc. v. Century Indemnity Company (2009). The court granted summary judgment to Viking Pump and Warren Pumps, holding they may exercise the insured's rights under Houdaille's excess policies and that liability is allocated on an all-sums basis, and denied the Excess Insurers' cross-motions.
