Delaware HB232 establishes a randomized case assignment system in the Court of Chancery to ensure impartiality and prevent undue influence.
Delaware HB232 amends Title 10 of the Delaware Code to implement a randomized case assignment system in the Court of Chancery. This system ensures that all civil actions, petitions, and matters are assigned to a Vice Chancellor or the Chancellor through a randomized process. The system prohibits any party, attorney, or judge from influencing the assignment of cases. Reassignment is allowed only if the assigned judge must recuse or is disqualified, if the case is related to a previously assigned matter, or for judicial workload considerations.
