Overview: Defendant had no right to a new trial based on newly discovered evidence; evidence in woman's affidavit, submitted long after trial, could have been obtained for trial.

View this case - free  

Overview: A settlement was not admissible under Del. R.

P. 60(b) was denied; an insurer's experienced employees mishandled contract complaint, mistaking it for duplicate of one in a personal injury case. Mere negligence was not inadvertence or excusable neglect, and extraordinary circumstances had to be beyond employees' mere negligence.
