Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) Under Delaware law, a subsidiary is often able to bring a claim for breach of fiduciary duty against its parent if the subsidiary has sustained liability to third parties as a result of the parent's control-and such a breach of fiduciary duty claim is similar in nature (and might invoke similar factual inquiries) to a claim that a parent used the subsidiary as its alter ego; and (2) The policy behind state law veil-piercing theories (like those utilized by Delaware law) is to use an equitable remedy to hold the party that has controlled and misused a corporation liable for the corporate obligations. This policy would be furthered were a subsidiary permitted to pierce its own corporate veil.”
