Plateau Data Services, LLC v. Adchemy, Inc.

Summary

The Delaware Supreme Court refused an interlocutory appeal from a Superior Court memorandum opinion limiting the defendants’ evidence concerning consequential, opportunity-cost, and anticipated future-profit damages. The Court concluded that the application did not satisfy the strict certification standards of Delaware Supreme Court Rule 42 and that the potential benefits of review did not outweigh the likely inefficiency, disruption, and costs.

Holdings
