Haglid v. Sanchez, C.A. No. 04C-07-192 n11 C.A. No. 05C-04-252 was consolidated with this case per the September 14, 2005, Order of Judge Jurden., SUPERIOR COURT OF DELAWARE, NEW CASTLE, October 21, 2005, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: A court did not have sufficient facts to enable it to apply the law to the facts, so it was premature for it to enter summary judgment to a car's driver who was in an auto accident. Circumstantial evidence indicated that the driver's story that he fell asleep and that a third-party took keys, drove car, and was in the accident was not credible.
