Del. Ch. Ct. R. 63
Judicial Officer’s Inability to Proceed
If the judicial officer conducting a hearing or trial is unable
to proceed, any other judicial officer may proceed upon
certifying familiarity with the record and determining that
the case may be completed without prejudice to the parties.
In a hearing or trial, the successor judicial officer must, at
a party’s request, recall any witness whose testimony is
material and disputed and who is available to testify again
without undue burden. The successor judicial officer may
also recall any other witness.
