Supreme Court of Delaware

CSX Transportation, Inc. v. Fontana

March 27, 2025

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware refused CSX Transportation's application for interlocutory review of the Superior Court's order addressing federal preemption of the plaintiffs' negligence claims. The Court held that the strict standards for interlocutory certification were not met because exceptional circumstances were absent and the potential benefits of review did not outweigh the inefficiency, disruption, and costs of an early appeal.
