   Cloudflare ruling certified for appeal to Delaware Supreme Court

   2 outlets · first: Fortune Corporate law

   Machine summary A Fortune opinion column reports that Vice Chancellor J. Travis Laster certified an interlocutory appeal of his Cloudflare ruling to the Delaware Supreme Court. The 142-page opinion enjoined a Cloudflare board decision on the company's capital structure after finding the directors independent and not negligent, the column states. The column argues the injunction rested on a redefinition of the good-faith requirement in Delaware's Senate Bill 21, enacted in March 2025.

   1. The Chancery Court opinion runs 142 pages and enjoined a decision by Cloudflare's board about the company's capital structure, the column reports
   2. Delaware enacted Senate Bill 21 in March 2025, which the column describes as the most significant rewrite of the state's corporate code in a generation
   3. The opinion held that the directors were independent and were not negligent, and said their process showed "all the outward signs of diligent and careful effort," the column states
   4. The column reported that the injunction was based on the statutory good-faith requirement in SB 21.
   5. Corporate franchise fees rival personal income taxes as a primary source of Delaware revenue, according to the column

   Massachusetts AG rule adds disclosure duties to shared appreciation mortgages

   2 outlets · first: NCLC Regulation

   Machine summary According to NCLC, the rule originates in a provision of the state's economic development legislation, enacted in November 2024, which the group says removed liability for some nonprofit SAMs, among them loans that BlueHub Capital originated.

   1. A new rule creates a notice requirement that forces lenders to prominently show the highest sum borrowers could owe, while also defining the circumstances under which nonprofit SAM lenders are protected from state consumer‑protection lawsuits.
   2. A Massachusetts economic-development bill that was passed in November 2024 contains a provision the regulation puts into effect; according to NCLC, that provision grants a wide waiver of consumer‑protection liability for some nonprofit SAMs, and the waiver covers loans originated by BlueHub Capital.
   3. Under the BlueHub-style model described in the reports, borrowers get a fixed-rate first mortgage plus a second lien tied to future home value appreciation, shared with the lender on sale, transfer or refinance.
   4. Andrea Bopp Stark, senior attorney at NCLC, said in the announcement that shared appreciation mortgages 'often become a trap' despite being presented as a lifeline, and NCLC called for broader protections beyond the rule.

   2 outlets · first: techcrunch.com Court decisions

   Machine summary Meta, Google, and TikTok have each brought suits against California Attorney General Rob Bonta concerning AB 1709, a state measure that curtails autoplay clips and tailored feeds for users younger than 16. TechCrunch reports the companies argue the law violates the First Amendment and is preempted by Section 230. The statute, signed by Governor Gavin Newsom in September, is slated to take effect at the start of 2027, with penalties of up to $50,000 per affected user under 16.

   1. Meta, Google and TikTok each filed separate lawsuits against California Attorney General Rob Bonta seeking to block AB 1709, according to TechCrunch (Nov. 5, 2026).
   2. Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB 1709 in September 2026, and the law is slated to take effect at the start of 2027, per TechCrunch.
   3. According to TechCrunch, platforms are prohibited by the law from providing autoplay videos and personalized feeds to anyone under 16, and if those features remain enabled, the accounts of those users must be deleted.
   4. According to TechCrunch, Meta contends that AB 1709 breaches the First Amendment because it overrides choices about how content is displayed, and that the measure is preempted by Section 230; TikTok and Google advanced comparable claims.
   5. Digital safety experts cited by TechCrunch caution that such laws can require age verification checks that collect additional user data, including from adults.

   Judge halts Trump arch construction for 14 days

   2 outlets · first: Qazinform Court decisions

   Machine summary Her 33-page opinion, issued on requests from the District of Columbia and Virginia, found the local governments likely to be harmed by construction. The consolidated docket also includes an earlier suit by Vietnam veterans and an architectural historian arguing congressional authorization is required.

   1. Less than two hours after the commission vote, at the requests of the District of Columbia and Virginia, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan issued a ruling late Thursday that stopped construction work at the site for 14 days.
   2. Arch is planned for Memorial Circle, which is a traffic island on the bridge connecting Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery. Officials reported that construction will be ongoing 20 hours each day, throughout the year, lasting two to three years. The administration has yet to confirm cost.
   3. Vietnam War veterans and an architectural historian sued earlier this year arguing the arch cannot lawfully be built without congressional approval, which the administration has not sought; Chutkan consolidated their case with the D.C.-Virginia suit and required notice to the court within an hour of the commission's decision.
