Chancery Grants Renewed Motion to Stay

By Francis G. X. Pileggi, Esq.

Sprint Nextel Corp. v. iPCS, Inc. (Del. Ch., Oct. 8, 2008), read opinion here. This Chancery Court decision involved a renewed Motion to Stay this Delaware case by defendants in favor of a concurrent action in Illinois. This motion was filed on Sept. 16, 2008 immediately after a decision by the judge in the companion case in Illinois denying a Motion to Dismiss those Illinois proceedings. In light of that decision and other developments after the July 14, 2008 denial of the initial Motion in Chancery Court  [see that decision summarized here on this blog], and “in the interest of comity, the efficient administration of justice, and achieving a complete and expeditious resolution of the underlying controversy", the Chancery Court granted the renewed Motion to Stay these proceedings.
