Supreme Court of Delaware

GMG Insurance Agency v. Margolis Edelstein

April 19, 2024

Summary

The court reversed summary judgment for Margolis Edelstein in GMG Insurance Agency's legal-malpractice action. It held that genuine disputes existed concerning whether Margolis breached the professional standard of care through its discovery, summary-judgment, and joint-representation conduct, and that the Superior Court failed to address whether GMG would have prevailed entirely in the underlying litigation absent that negligence. The court remanded for further proceedings and did not resolve the superseding-cause issue.
