Delaware Court of Chancery Rules Default Fiduciary Duties Apply To LLC Manager | Practical Law
An update on the Delaware Court of Chancery's decision in Auriga Capital Corp. v. Gatz Properties, LLC holding that the managing member of an LLC breached his fiduciary duties in operating the LLC and later squeezing out the minority investors on unfair terms. In finding that the managing member was subject to default fiduciary duties, the court again confirmed its position that the Delaware LLC Act and case law establish core fiduciary duties of loyalty and care absent express language to the contrary in the relevant LLC operating agreement.
