Supreme Court of Delaware

Snyder v. New Castle County

April 5, 2016

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware held that the Superior Court applied the wrong standard when reviewing the Board of Adjustment's variance decision. Applying the proper standard—review for legal error and substantial evidence—the Court concluded that the Board adequately considered the governing variance factors, that its findings were supported by the record, and that it committed no legal error. The Superior Court's judgment was therefore affirmed.
