Supreme Court of Delaware
Citizens Against Solar Pollution v. Kent County
March 10, 2025
Summary
The Court affirmed both lower-court judgments concerning a conditional-use permit for a solar farm. It held that the permit approval was a quasi-judicial act subject to certiorari, making certiorari an adequate remedy that deprived the Court of Chancery of equitable jurisdiction and required dismissal of the declaratory-judgment claim. On certiorari review, the Court upheld the permit approval because the record was sufficient, the Levy Court stated adequate reasons, and the approval did not require enactment of an ordinance. No separate opinions were filed.
