In a recent court ruling, Delaware’s Court of Chancery declared that Carter Carburetor LLC does not need to abide by the prices that Arizona-based engine parts manufacturer Walbro LLC had previously negotiated with customers. This ruling is related to a transaction where Walbro sold one of its three divisions to Carter. The Court, however, has decided to expedite Walbro’s lawsuit against Carter over the latter’s refusal to adopt the pre-existing supply contracts.
The Court’s decision to fast-track this particular lawsuit highlights the critical nature of the issues presented in this case. Their decision implies a need for a quicker resolution to allow both parties to navigate their businesses with more certainty.
