Supreme Court of Delaware

Windsor v. CWCapital Asset

September 10, 2020

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed dismissal of Windsor’s promissory-estoppel and unjust-enrichment claims. Although the Superior Court likely should have converted the dismissal motion to summary judgment before relying on materials outside the complaint, affirmance was proper because the claims independently failed on their substantive allegations. Windsor did not plead a sufficiently definite promise or a benefit unjustly retained by the defendants.
