Supreme Court of Delaware

Geronta Funding v. Brighthouse Life Insurance Co.

March 28, 2019

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware refused to accept an interlocutory appeal from the Superior Court's partial resolution of cross-motions for judgment on the pleadings concerning a life insurance policy. The Court held that the strict certification standards were not satisfied because the case was not exceptional and the benefits of immediate review did not outweigh the resulting inefficiency, disruption, and costs.
