Del. Ch. Ct. R. 141
Time for Taking Testimony
Where the order of reference specifies the time to begin
taking testimony before the Magistrate in Chancery, and
also the time for closing proofs, the Magistrate in Chancery
shall have no power to extend the time beyond the day
named in the order, but when a matter is referred to a
Magistrate in Chancery to examine and report upon, and
the order of reference does not specify any time to begin
taking testimony or for closing proofs, the Magistrate in
Chancery shall, as soon as practicable, assign a time and
place to hear the parties, give reasonable notice to all
persons interested, and proceed with all reasonable
diligence in every such reference. Any party in interest
shall be at liberty to apply to the Court for an order that
the Magistrate in Chancery speed the proceedings and
certify to the Court the reasons for any delay.
