Del. Ch. Ct. R. 140
Persons Who May be Examined; Burden of Proof on Exceptions to Claim
The Magistrate in Chancery shall be at liberty to examine
any party, or any creditor, or other person making claims
before the Magistrate in Chancery either upon written
interrogatories, or orally, or in both modes, as the nature
of the case may appear to the Magistrate in Chancery to
require, and for this purpose may by subpoena compel the
attendance of such party, creditor or other person.
When exceptions are taken to claims filed by claimants to
a fund, the burden of proof shall be on the claimant to
establish the claim as filed, and the claimant will not be
permitted to prove any items not embraced within such
filed claim, except by order of the Magistrate in Chancery
for good cause shown.
