The Delaware Supreme Court announced Tuesday that, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has canceled all oral arguments scheduled before the court through May of this year.
"The court will decide all March, April, and May appeals without argument unless a motion is filed no later than March 27, 2020 requesting oral argument and stating concisely why oral argument is required, and the position of opposing counsel," the announcement said. "No response is permitted. If the motion is granted, the court will reschedule oral argument to a date to be determined by the court taking into consideration the duration of the current health emergency affecting the Delaware courts."
The ruling comes days after the Supreme Court declared a judicial emergency, prompting the Delaware Superior Court to suspend all criminal and civil jury trials through April 15 and the Chancery Court to order on Monday that, for the next 30 days, all hearings and trials either be conducted electronically or be continued.
