AP Smith Manufacturing Co. v. Barlow : ウィキペディア英語版 | AP Smith Manufacturing Co. v. Barlow
''AP Smith Manufacturing Co v Barlow'', 98 A.2d 581 (N.J. 1953) is a US corporate law case, concerning the application of directors' duties in regard to balancing the interests of different stakeholders. It held that directors may make charitable donations, so long as their personal interests do not conflict, or there is a contravention of state law. ==Facts== The directors of AP Smith Manufacturing, a New Jersey company, approved donation of $1500 to Princeton University. The shareholders disapproved of the gift and contended that it was a breach of a director’s duty to act in the corporation or shareholder interests. Specifically they argued that there was no express authority in the corporation’s certificate of incorporation. A New Jersey statute allowed corporations to make charitable donations, so long as the recipient did not own more than 10 per cent of a corporation’s stock, but the shareholders argued this was inapplicable if the corporation was incorporated beforehand.
