Having access to corporate records means nothing, really. Under virtually every state’s law, any shareholder is entitled to see records of a company that he partially owns. Why should the management of a company keep records away from their employers, ie, the shareholders? The dispute usually comes down to sensitive material. For example, it would be stupid to permit a Pepsi executive to buy shares of Coca Cola and then entitle him to access the secret formula. I assume ONCS objected to the scope of the record request, which was resolved by the court in some way that is unclear.
