Annotations
COMMENT Source: This section was added by amendment in 1989. This section is a codification of a widely recognized rule of construction of business corporation laws. This confirms ‘‘the general theory of the Delaware Corporation law that action taken pursuant to the authority of the various sections of that law constitute acts of independent legal significance and their validity is not dependent on other sections of the Act.’’ Hariton v. Arco Electronics, Inc., 41 Del. Ch. 74, 188 A.2d 123, 125 (Del. Supr. 1963), citing Langfelder v. Universal Laboratories, Inc., 68 F. Supp. 209, 211 (D.Del. 1946).
