Supreme Court of Delaware

World Award Foundation Inc. v. Anbang Insurance Goup

October 26, 2020

Summary

The Court dismissed the appeal because the entity appellants were not represented by Delaware counsel and Yan Zhao, who filed the notice of appeal pro se, could not represent them. Zhao also lacked appellate standing because he was not a party below and had not intervened, and his personal interest in the litigation was insufficient. The Court denied the request to use out-of-state counsel under the emergency-disaster rule because the required pro bono and supervision conditions were not shown.
