Supreme Court of Delaware

Matter of Philip R. Shawe

January 22, 2016

Summary

The Court dismissed Shawe’s petition for extraordinary relief seeking to limit a Court of Chancery sanctions hearing or require a jury trial. Shawe failed to show a clear entitlement to mandamus or prohibition, and the Court held that the Court of Chancery had jurisdiction to address the alleged discovery abuses and that any sanctions ruling could be reviewed on appeal.
