Summary
The Supreme Court of Delaware reversed the Superior Court's approval of an equal division of settlement proceeds between two minors and remanded for proceedings complying with the statutory and rule-based minor-settlement approval process. The court held that approval must begin with an independent determination on a clean slate, rather than enforcement of an agreement reached without prior court approval. No separate opinions were provided.
