<p>The law school will host a session of the Delaware Court of Chancery in the Ruby R. Vale Moot Courtroom on Wednesday, April 15 at 10 a.m. The hearing is open to all members of the law school community and the general public.</p>
<p>Chancellor Andre Bouchard, the highest-ranking jurist in the renowned court, will hear oral arguments in Teamsters Union 25 Health Services &amp; Insurance Plan v. Martin J. Brand, et al. and Orbitz Worldwide Inc. There are no time limits to the oral arguments before the chancellor.</p>
<p>The argument is on a motion to dismiss a stockholder derivative suit alleging that a global distribution services agreement between Orbitz and Travelport Global Distribution Systems, B.V. was approved in violation of the Orbitz directors&rsquo; fiduciary duties and is unfair to Orbitz. Plaintiff alleges that the board of directors failed to comply with New York Stock Exchange rules regarding the independence of a majority of the directors. Defendants argue that the case should be dismissed under Chancery Court Rules 12(b)(6), for failure to state a claim, and 23.1, for failure to make a pre-suit demand on the board of directors.</p>
