Definition

Judicial doctrine that presumes corporate directors acted on an informed basis, in good faith and with an honest belief that their actions were in the company’s best interests, and therefore shields those decisions from judicial second-guessing absent evidence of fraud, self‑dealing, gross negligence, or a breach of loyalty or statutory duty.
