The HC Companies, Inc. v. Myers Industries, Inc.

In a letter opinion, the Delaware Court of Chancery denied a motion for reargument regarding the court's decision on HC's motion for partial summary judgment. The court held that Myers failed to demonstrate that the court misapprehended the law or facts because its arguments rehashed arguments it raised in its opposition to HC's motion; raised entirely new arguments; or raised arguments that reflected a misapprehension of the court's decision. The court rejected Myers' argument that the court "inexplicably" and incorrectly concluded that Myers' objection to HC's first claim did not apply to items that overlap in HC's first and second claim notices; that once Myers objected to an indemnification claim, HC could not "override" Myers' objection by making another claim; and that even if Myers "irrevocably waived the right to contest distribution" of the escrow property, it may still raise "defenses" to prevent "distribution of the entire escrow amount."
