GoPro, Inc. Derivative Action Dismissed on the Basis of Failure to Plead Demand Futility




GoPro, Inc. Derivative Action Dismissed on the Basis of Failure to Plead Demand Futility


      In an April 28 decision from Vice Chancellor Slights of the  Delaware Chancery Court, a derivative action against the directors of GoPro, Inc. was dismissed because the plaintiffs had neither made demand upon the Board of Directors to take action nor adequately pled that making a demand would be futile. The court would conclude that the plaintiffs had failed to plead with particularity that a majority of the Board of Directors was unable, on a disinterested basis, to consider a demand for action. In re GoPro, Inc. Stockholder Derivative Litigation, C.A. No. 2018-0784-JRS, 2020 WL 2036602.
