Supreme Court of Delaware

In the Matter of Rolf D. Brewster, a person with a disability

August 8, 2025

Summary

The Court remanded the appeal to the Court of Chancery without deciding whether it had appellate jurisdiction over a contested guardianship matter decided by a Senior Magistrate. The Court held that, even assuming jurisdiction existed, the appellant's failure to file exceptions to the Senior Magistrate's final report prevented appellate review of her asserted errors. Because further appellate proceedings could not change the result and were delaying proceedings below, the Court remanded without further briefing and did not retain jurisdiction.
