House Bill # 374 |
| Primary Sponsor: | Valihura | Additional Sponsor(s): Sen. DeLuca |
| CoSponsors: | Rep. Mitchell; Sen. Cloutier |
| Introduced on : | 04/23/2008 | |
| Long Title: | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 10 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO LITIGATION AND COURT PROCEDURE. |
| Synopsis: | This Act simplifies the process to serve a nonresident for acts contained in this Section and will bring current Delaware’s now cumbersome method of exercising jurisdiction into conformity with current practice. This will reduce the cost of service and improve judicial efficiency and reduce the time necessary to make service upon nonresidents. Delaware’s current technical statute causes various motions to be filed in Court which have nothing to do with the underlying case, wasting judicial resources and increasing litigation costs. This Act is patterned after the Uniform Interstate and International Procedure Act, and has been enacted in substantially the same form in several states, including Pennsylvania, for over 25 years. 42 Pa. C.S. §§ 5322 & 5323. Therefore, there is already a body of case law implementing the proposed updating of the manner of service.
