Supreme Court of Delaware

In the Matter of Debra and William Bennett

July 26, 2017

Summary

The Court dismissed the Bennetts’ petition for a writ of mandamus because they did not establish a clear right to further proceedings or the absence of an adequate remedy. The Bennetts had received clarification that a prior order was the final judgment in the action and could have pursued a timely appeal, so mandamus could not be used to challenge that judgment years later.
