Delaware is the key business law jurisdiction in the United States. Under its
specialized chancery court, there is a rich case law that attempts to balance freedom
and flexibility in decision-making by directors (authority) with robust principles and
fiduciary duties on those same directors (accountability). One of the key duties,
loyalty, has evolved significantly into a duty of acting in good faith to oversee corporate activities and there is a special shareholder derivative lawsuit that can be
brought in case of management failure to monitor: the Caremark suit. Recently, there
has been development in these case that heightens director liability for oversight
failures, which we consider. All told, we believe that lessons from this evolution in
Delaware corporate governance could offer useful points of reference for
Guatemalan boards and corporate governance laws and regulations more generally. |
