This morning, the Delaware Court of Chancery issued Standing Order No. 2 Concerning COVID-19 Precautionary Measures. Pursuant to Standing Order No. 2, all Chancery hearings and trials will be conducted only telephonically for the next 30 days, absent a party requesting an in-person hearing and demonstrating imminent irreparable harm.
Standing Order No. 2 replaces the Court of Chancery’s original standing order in its entirety, which was issued last week.
A full list of the orders and related press releases can be found on the Delaware Judiciary’s website, which is also summarized in yesterday’s blog post.
