| LITIGATION REPORT |
|
| Toxic Tort Litigation Report—In 2007 President Judge James T. Vaughn Jr. appointed
a five-member Special Committee on Superior
Court Toxic Tort Litigation to consider questions
raised about the increased number of out-of-state
toxic-tort personal injury cases and its effect
upon defendants. After inclusive input from plaintiffs' and defendants'
counsel, the Delaware Bar, the Chamber, academics,
and interest groups the lengthy report was submitted to the Court on May 9, 2008. Among the conclusions were that "after careful
review, we are satisfied that Delaware asbestos
litigation is fairly conducted for both defendants
and plaintiffs and is effectively resolving claims." View report. >> |
