My previous discussion of the Minnesota Court of Appeals’s opinion in the Lund litigation (here, here, and here) noted that on February 12, 2019, the Lund defendants filed a petition asking the Minnesota Supreme Court to review the decision of the Court of Appeals. On March 27, 2019, the Supreme Court declined to do so.
Accordingly, the Court of Appeals’s opinion will remain the final word on the issues it addresses, at least as far as Lund goes. Only time will tell whether, and how, the appellate courts will develop or modify Lund‘s answers concerning the questions Lund addressed about shareholder oppression, the reasonable expectations of shareholders in closely-held businesses, business fair value, and claims against trustees.
