In their Appellate Practice column, Thomas R. Newman and Steven J. Ahmuty Jr. write: A finding of prejudicial error will generally result in a reversal of the judgment and a new trial on all issues unless the appellate court specifically limits the scope of the retrial.

In one of the most anticipated opinions of 2017, Delaware's Supreme Court reversed the Court of Chancery's appraisal decision valuing Dell, Inc.'s shares after its management-led buyout in 2013.
