CLIENT ALERT: Complex Commercial Litigation Division Established

Effective May, 1, 2010, a Delaware Superior Court directive established a Complex Commercial Litigation Division ("CCLD") for the Superior Court in New Castle County.  The directive dedicated a small panel of experienced and distinguished judges to hear qualifying actions.  Among the benefits of litigating in the CCLD are fast-track scheduling and firm trial dates.

To qualify as a CCLD action, a matter must involve a controversy amount of $1 million or greater (designated either for jury or non-jury), an exclusive choice of court agreement, or be designated by the President Judge as such.  Certain types of actions, such as personal injury and foreclosure actions, are specifically precluded from being heard through the CCLD.
