This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

P brought suit under section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law to compel D to produce, for inspection, its books and records for compensation of D's three highest corporate officers from 2000 to 2002. P claimed that the compensation given was waste. D moved for summary judgment, and it was granted. P had failed to establish a credible basis from which the Court of Chancery could infer there were legitimate issues of possible waste, mismanagement or wrongdoing that warranted further investigation. P appealed claiming that such a burden of proof erects an insurmountable barrier for minority shareholder of a public company.
