The Delaware Court of Chancery recently issued an opinion on an issue of first impression in Delaware. Apparently no Delaware statutory or case law directly addressed the issue of whether the dissolution and cancellation of an LLC transformed derivative claims into direct claims held proportionately by the members of the LLC. The court concluded that, after the filing of the certificate of cancellation, such claims must be brought in the name of the LLC by a trustee or a receiver appointed under 6 Del. C. Section 18-805, directly by the LLC, or derivatively by its members after reviving the LLC by obtaining a revocation of its certificate of cancellation.
