Supreme Court of Delaware

Martin v. Nixon

March 28, 2023

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Superior Court’s judgment awarding Martin damages reduced by his comparative fault. It held that the trial judge did not abuse his discretion or commit plain error in declining recusal, rejecting Martin’s sanction request, or making the challenged evidentiary rulings. The court also upheld the exclusion of unsupported medical and lost-compensation evidence and left the valuation of Martin’s bicycle to the jury.
