East Balt LLC v. East Balt US LLC, C.A. 10462-VCN (May 28, 2015)

There are often disputes over funds held in escrow under earn out or indemnification provisions in various deals. This decision confirms that the Court of Chancery will take jurisdiction over a suit seeking specific performance of the distribution provision of the escrow agreement. This seems particularly desirable because that Court has the most experience with why such escrows are put in place and has resolved many such disputes in the past.
