On March 20, 2017, in Brinckerhoff v. Enbridge Energy Co., Inc., the Delaware Supreme Court reversed the Court of Chancery’s April 29, 2016 decision that granted defendants’ motion to dismiss a master limited partnership unitholder’s challenge to an affiliate transaction. In reversing the Court of Chancery’s dismissal, the Supreme Court retreated from two prior holdings. The Court reversed itself on its previously established pleading standard for bad faith, making it easier for a master limited partnership unitholder to state a claim for relief. The Court also rejected its previous interpretation of the Limited Partnership Agreement’s (LPA) provisions related to affiliate transactions.
