Protective Life Insurance v. Navarro

Summary

The Court held that the Court of Chancery's dismissal of the Protective Entities' petition in an ongoing insurance rehabilitation proceeding was interlocutory rather than final under the Delaware Uniform Insurers Liquidation Act. It therefore dismissed the appeal filed as a final appeal and refused to accept the separately filed interlocutory appeal because the strict certification standards were not met and the costs of immediate review outweighed its potential benefits.
