Answer to Question 1

The transaction will be valid if the disinterested members of the board of directors approve the transaction; the disinterested shareholders approve it; or the transaction is entirely fair to Independent. If the director does not act properly, he would be violating the duty of loyalty to his company. Self-dealing means that a manger makes a decision benefiting either himself or another company with which he has a relationship. If a manager engages in self-dealing, the business judgment rule no longer applies. This does not mean the manager is automatically liable to the corporation or that the decision is automatically void. It just means a court will scrutinize the deal more carefully.
