Supreme Court of Delaware

IMO the Petition of Frank Rende for a Writ of Mandamus

April 2, 2026

Summary

The Court dismissed Frank Rende’s petition for a writ of mandamus because it did not invoke the Court’s original jurisdiction. Mandamus was unavailable because Rende was attempting to relitigate matters that could have been addressed in the Court of Chancery or through a timely appeal, and mandamus cannot substitute for an appeal.
