View this case - free  

Overview: Co-employees were not entitled to summary judgment on negligence claim because trial court, after determining that workers' compensation was employee's exclusive remedy under Del.

View this case - free  

Overview: By analyzing the evidence presented from the perspective of the condition of a bicycle at the time of sale, rather than the manner in which it came to be in that condition, a jury could have found that the bike was not "merchantable," and the seller was not entitled to judgment notwithstanding the jury's verdict in favor of the buyer.

Brooks v. State, No. 586, 2006, SUPREME COURT OF DELAWARE, July 10, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Because a co-defendant's testimony supported a conspiracy charge, the jury was properly instructed on a newspaper article, and the mitigating factors in defendant's history warranted nothing more than a minimum mandatory sentence, defendant's Del. Super. Ct. R. Crim. P. 61 postconviction motion was properly denied since counsel was not ineffective.

View this case - free  

Overview: In a former inmate's suit for medical negligence and constitutional violations, defendants were not entitled to have any allegations stricken based on a statute of limitations issue under Del.

State v. Robinson, Cr. ID No. 0503002950, SUPERIOR COURT OF DELAWARE, NEW CASTLE, July 10, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Because Del. Super. Ct. R. Crim. P. 45(b)(2) expressly provided that the court could not extend the time for taking any action under Del. Super. Ct. R. Crim. P. 61(i)(1), the court did not have the authority to grant defendant's request to increase the one year time-limit for filing a Rule 61 motion for postconviction relief.
