Effective May 1, 2010, New Castle County, Delaware, has created a new division known as the Complex Commercial Litigation Division. Available for prescribed categories of cases, including cases with an amount in controversy of more than $1 million (excluding certain types of actions, including, e.g., claims for personal, mental or physical injury), the new division adheres to principles that shall govern the administration of each case. These principles include assigning the case to the same Panel Judge for all purposes through final disposition and compliance with Panel-established “uniform procedures” such as mandatory disclosures similar to those under the federal rules and the consideration of electronic discovery early in the case, among others.
