Del. Ch. Ct. R. 90
Access to Documents Filed with the Court in Civil Miscellaneous Actions
(a) Matters docketed as Civil Miscellaneous (C.M.)
actions including, but not limited to, guardianships, and
associated miscellaneous petitions are confidential and not
subject to public disclosure or access by the general public.
The confidential treatment of Civil Miscellaneous (C.M.)
actions is not subject to the provisions of Rule 5.1
governing public access to documents filed with the Court
in Civil Actions.
(1) Any person or entity aggrieved by the confidential
treatment provisions of this rule may file a motion with
the Court requesting public access to the matter. A copy
of such motion shall be served upon any known party to
the action. Any party to the action who believes that
continued confidential treatment is required shall file a
response to the motion within eleven days. After
considering the motion and any response thereto, the
Court shall determine whether good cause exists to
allow public access to all or any portion of the record or
the proceedings, notwithstanding the privacy concerns
inherent in these fiduciary matters.
(b) If the Court issues in a Civil Miscellaneous (C.M.)
action an opinion the Court believes may have importance
or precedential value to the Bar or the general public, the
Court may, to the extent warranted, publish the opinion
utilizing pseudonyms or other devices that will remove any
indicia of personal identification of the parties or persons
involved in the action.
