Del. Ct. Com. Pl. Civ. R. 61
Harmless error
No error in either the admission or the exclusion of evidence and no error or defect in any ruling or order
or in anything done or omitted by the Court or by any of the parties is ground for granting a new trial or
for vacating, modifying or otherwise disturbing a judgment or order, unless refusal to take such action
appears to the Court inconsistent with substantial justice. The Court at every stage of the proceeding must
disregard any error or defect in the proceeding which does not affect the substantial rights of the parties.
