In the Matter of a Petition for a Writ of Mandamus by Badr Abdelhameed Dhia Jafar

Summary

The Court dismissed Jafar’s petition for a writ of mandamus seeking to reopen a closed Court of Chancery action and obtain rulings on two motions. It held that Jafar had not shown a clear right to the requested relief or an arbitrary failure by the Court of Chancery to perform a duty, because he missed the court’s deadline to renew his motions and later failed to properly move to reopen the case.
