Supreme Court of Delaware

Chavez T. Williams v. Cynthia H. Hall

January 6, 2026

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Court of Chancery's judgment quieting title in favor of the appellees. It held that laches did not bar the action because appellants failed to establish prejudice, that lineage was properly determined by a preponderance of the evidence rather than clear and convincing evidence, and that the evidence supported the appellees' lineage.
