Summary
The Delaware Court of Chancery determines the amount of a bond required to secure a Status Quo Order preserving the historical supply of commercial data to Forian Holdings LLC pending a preliminary injunction hearing. The court rejects the defendants’ request for a $10 million bond as based on speculative downstream customer attrition and requires the plaintiffs to post a $437,000 bond. The court leaves open the possibility of revisiting the bond amount at the preliminary injunction hearing.
Holdings
- The plaintiffs must post a $437,000 bond as security for potential losses resulting from the Status Quo Order.
Questions Presented
- What amount of security should plaintiffs post to compensate defendants if the Status Quo Order is later determined to have been improvidently issued?
- Whether the proposed $10 million bond was supported by sufficiently concrete evidence of potential harm or was based on speculative losses.
