OPINION 
A Chancery Court Victory for TransPerfect Thanks to Governor Matt Meyer and Senator Bryan Townsend on Passing Senate Bill 21 in Delaware 
Dear Friends,

Please see the news below from TransPerfect CEO Phil Shawe on his X/Twitter account. I concur with what he’s saying so well: “Anything that puts limits on Chancery’s unchecked power—and re-introduces predictability for businesses—is a welcome step towards the kind of Chancery reform we’ve been talking about for years.”

I’m delighted to see something constructive happen to Shawe and his company, which spent millions on legal fees, illegally swiped from it in my view. This is some consolation and a strong message to the Chancery Court — not just from me as I’ve been yelling about this for years — but from our elected officials!

I have to say this new governor has balls. Governor Matt Meyer and Senator Bryan Townsend got Senate Bill 21 passed. It’s a big move in the right direction.

Please share your thoughts on SB21 passing and the effort from Meyer and Townsend. What else would you like to see, folks? Your feedback is always welcome and appreciated. 
Sincerely Yours,

JUDSON Bennett–Coastal Network

Here’s the tweet from Phil Shawe’s X account:

Anything that puts limits on Chancery’s unchecked power—and re-introduces predictability for businesses—is a welcome step towards the kind of Chancery reform we’ve been talking about for years.

SB 21 significantly curtails the Chancery’s power to make arbitrary rulings—a move in the right direction—but it doesn’t go far enough.

It also doesn’t address some core problems such as lack of random case assignment, runaway legal fees and easy public access to audio, video, and transcripts—so there is more work to do!

Congratulations to Governor Meyer (@MattMeyerDE) and Senator Bryan Townsend (@BryanTownsendDE) on getting this first step done!
