Heading: Westland's Claims on Appeal

Text: Westland claims that the Court of Chancery erred as a matter of law by misapplying the applicable legal standard. Westland concedes that the Court of Chancery opinion invokes the proper standard namely, that a plaintiff seeking inspection of books and records must present some evidence, through documents, logic, testimony or otherwise, [13] to suggest a credible basis from which the Court of Chancery could infer that wrongdoing may have occurred. [14] Westland claims, however, that the Court misapplied that standard by requiring Westland to provide affirmative evidence of wrongdoing. Westland urges that the undisputed facts are sufficient to discharge its burden because those facts, standing alone, established a credible basis to infer wrongdoing. Additionally, Westland urges this Court to adopt the Blasius standard in reviewing the Board's decision to reject the three directors' tendered resignations.
