County of York Employees Retirement Plan v. Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc., C.A. 4066-VCN (Del. Ch. Oct. 28, 2008)

 

In this decision, the Court of Chancery again affirms it disinclination to stay proceedings in Delaware just because a federal securities case was filed first elsewhere. Some doubt about that issue may have existed after the Court did stay a Delaware case involving Bear Sterns in favor of federal litigation in New York. But as this opinion notes, the Bear Sterns case was unique.
