Supreme Court of Delaware

Gillen v. Continental Power Corporation

November 19, 2014

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed a jury verdict for Continental Power Corporation and Edward Henry Kimmel on Gillen's breach-of-contract claim, upheld the denial of a new trial, and affirmed the award of $2,997.69 in attorneys' fees and costs. The Court concluded that the trial judge properly declined to recuse, admitted Gillen's Florida convictions for impeachment, limited the liability theory to the alleged October 2007 partnership agreement, excluded privileged and settlement-related evidence, and found no basis for a new trial. No separate opinions were filed.
