Case v. Taylor

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the judgment for Taylor in Case's personal-injury action. It held that the Superior Court acted within its discretion under Rule 403 by excluding expert testimony relying on the Driver's Manual's three- and four-second following rules, because those guidelines could confuse the jury or be given undue legal weight. The court also rejected using Taylor's familiarity with the Manual to introduce the same evidence during cross-examination.
