CORPORATIONS - RIGHT OF STOCKHOLDERS TO COMPEL LEAVE TO INSPECT BOOKS OF A DELAWARE CORPORATION

Authors

Abstract

At common law an incident to the ownership of stock in a corporation is the right or privilege to inspect the books or records of the corporation. The right is analogous to that of partners to examine the records and books of the firm. However, it is not an absolute, unqualified right at common law, but one which is conditional on the good faith and proper purposes of the stockholder.
