On Monday, the Delaware Court of Chancery issued a new rule governing confidential filings with the court - Court of Chancery Rule 5.1 - to replace the longstanding Rule 5(g).

(See the memorandum from the Delaware Court of Chancery, "Protecting Public Access to the Courts: Chancery Rule 5.1.") Rule 5.1 emphasizes at the outset that "proceedings in a civil action are a matter of public record," and, subject to the limitations outlined in the rule, all filings in the Court of Chancery "shall be available for public access."
