Court of Chancery Upholds Statute of Repose for Dissolved Corporations
The Territory Of The Virgin Islands v. Goldman, Sachs & Co., C.A. No. 2505-VCS (December 20, 2007).
This decision upholds the law that Section 278 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") acts as a statute of repose to bar the filing of all litigation against a Delaware corporation after 3 years from the date of its dissolution.
As the court also notes, that means that a suit against stockholders under Section 325 of the DGCL for having received an improper liquidating distribution are also precluded under those circumstances.
