Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research is to consider the standard of director’s responsibility in negotiations on friendly merger based on discussions in Delaware. I found that recent Delaware case tend to respect the board’s decision on condition that the majority of full-informed and uncoerced shareholders approve the merger. The main cause is the increase of the number of M&A litigation in Delaware, which is different from Japan. But because the similar thought can be seen in some Japanese courts, I can find the connection with the discussion in Delaware.
