Supreme Court of Delaware

Hitachi Koki Co., Ltd. v. Cardona

April 16, 2019

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware refused to accept Hitachi Koki Co., Ltd.'s interlocutory appeal from the Superior Court's denial of its motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction. The Court held that the strict requirements for interlocutory review were not satisfied because exceptional circumstances were absent and the likely benefits did not outweigh the inefficiency, disruption, and costs of an interlocutory appeal.
