TripAdvisor Inc. can move its incorporation to Nevada from Delaware, a judge ruled, though the company will still have to face a shareholder lawsuit over a shift similar to that now being contemplated by Elon Musk for Tesla Inc.

Delaware Chancery Court Judge J. Travis Laster denied the travel review and booking site’s motion to dismiss a lawsuit challenging the move as unfair to shareholders but declined to block the move, saying a “monetary award could be crafted” if the court rules against TripAdvisor.
