Supreme Court of Delaware

Ballard v. JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A.

August 16, 2019

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware refused to accept an interlocutory appeal from the Court of Chancery's partial denial of defendants' motion to dismiss. The Court agreed that the strict requirements for interlocutory review were not met because review would not likely terminate the litigation, discovery could affect the limitations issues, and delaying the case would create inefficiency and prejudice. The Court of Chancery's order therefore remained in effect.
