Re: Breach of Fiduciary Duty Claims Against the Directors of a Corporation, the Plaintiffs Failed to Rebut the Presumptions of Loyalty, Prudence and Good Faith Under the Business Judgment Rule

In finding that the breach of fiduciary duty claims against the directors of a corporation were properly dismissed, the First Department explained the relevant analysis:

The court, after citing and applying the correct standard of review …, properly dismissed the breach of fiduciary duty claims against [defendant-directors of the corporation] …, due to plaintiffs’ failure to rebut the presumptions of loyalty, prudence and good faith under the business judgment rule … . In particular, plaintiffs failed to allege facts that support a finding of interest or lack of independence by a majority of the board members … . Giuliano v Gawrylewski, 2014 NY Slip Op 07941, 1st Dept 11-18-14
