Supreme Court of Delaware

Gunzl v. One Off Rod & Custom, Inc.

January 2, 2015

Summary

The Court affirmed dismissal of Gunzl's breach-of-contract action because he failed to comply with repeated scheduling orders requiring an expert report or disclosure. Without a competent expert, Gunzl could not establish that One Off caused the vehicle damage or prove the resulting damages and proximate cause. The Court held that the Superior Court acted within its discretion after explaining the requirement and granting multiple extensions.
