Delgado v. Mosley

Summary

The Delaware Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Chancery’s judgment concerning ownership and partition of real property held by Heather M. Delgado and Maurice A. Mosley. The court upheld the determination that Mosley held a 75% interest and Delgado held a 25% interest, based on their unequal contributions to the property. It also rejected Delgado’s arguments for a constructive trust and attorney’s fees.
