Supreme Court of Delaware

Martin v. National General Assurance Company

July 9, 2014

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed summary judgment for National General Assurance Company, holding that Martin had not shown evidence sufficient to establish that a motor vehicle was involved in his bicycle accident and that the Superior Court properly declined to take judicial notice of the New Jersey compensation payments as proof of such involvement. The Court also rejected Martin's procedural arguments concerning de novo review, withdrawal of National's summary-judgment motion, and a proposed summary-reversal procedure. Martin waived his challenge to the completeness of the record by failing to raise it below.
