Supreme Court of Delaware

Lee v. Choice Hotels International, Inc.

April 30, 2010992 A.2d 1236

Summary

The Court reversed summary judgment for Choice Hotels because the plaintiffs presented sufficient evidence that Indonesian Regulation 61 established applicable pool-safety requirements and that its violation could support negligence per se. The Court also held that the plaintiffs' aquatic-safety expert was sufficiently qualified to testify about compliance with the Indonesian standard of care, with any remaining concerns affecting the weight rather than admissibility of his testimony. The request to substitute another expert was moot.
