Stone v. Ritter
A common good faith claim is that directors violated their duty of good faith the corporation by failing to provide adequate oversight, resulting in avoidable losses to the corporation. These “oversight claims” are also known as Caremark claims after a case where the issue of oversight liability was dealt with in dicta. In Stone, the Delaware Supreme Court adopts the reasoning of Caremark and applies the standard to facts before it.
