Delaware corporate court ruling sparks fears of accelerated company exodus

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Delaware's Court of Chancery has issued a controversial ruling in a case involving Cloudflare, raising concerns about the state's long-standing appeal to corporations. This decision, coupled with previous rulings that were later overturned, has led to fears that companies may accelerate their departure from Delaware, which heavily relies on corporate anchoring fees for revenue. In response, Delaware passed Senate Bill 21 in March 2025, a significant overhaul of its corporate code, intended to address activist rulings and restore confidence in the state's specialized court system.
