Supreme Court of Delaware

Beazley Insurance Co., Inc. v. Ferrellgas Partners L.P.

October 9, 2020

Summary

The Court refused to accept an interlocutory appeal from an order requiring an insurer to advance defense costs and pay fees incurred in obtaining that advancement. Applying the strict standards for interlocutory review, the Court concluded that exceptional circumstances were absent and that the likely benefits of review did not outweigh the inefficiency, disruption, and costs of an interlocutory appeal.
