Supreme Court of Delaware

Walker v. City of New Castle

December 31, 2015

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware reversed the dismissal of Walker’s case against the City of New Castle and remanded for further proceedings. The court held that Walker lacked notice that a hearing concerning motions in a separate, unconsolidated case could result in dismissal of the City Case, and that an undocumented commissioner recommendation could not support dismissal without the required written report and opportunity for objections.
