Supreme Court of Delaware

State of Delaware v. Walgreen Co.

December 11, 2019

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware refused to accept the State’s interlocutory appeal from the Superior Court’s dismissal without prejudice of negligence and medical-malpractice claims against Walgreens. The Court agreed that the strict requirements for interlocutory review were not satisfied because exceptional circumstances were absent and the likely benefits did not outweigh the costs and disruption of interlocutory review.
