Can a Non-Binding Term Sheet Ever Support a Claim for Expectation Damages? 

The Delaware Supreme Court, in SIGA Technologies Inc. v. PharmAthene, Inc., Case No. D67068 (Del. Dec. 23 2015), recently reconsidered whether a term sheet labeled as “non-binding” could support a party’s damage claims where his counter-party failed to negotiate in good faith. The Court held that it could, and awarded damages of more than $100,000,000 to the aggrieved party.
