Supreme Court of Delaware

Richards v. Briggs

December 21, 2021

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware refused an interlocutory appeal from the Family Court's denial of Richards's emergency request to sell the marital home after Briggs's death. The Court concluded that the application did not satisfy the strict certification standards under Rule 42, and that the potential benefits of review did not outweigh the resulting inefficiency, disruption, and probable costs.
