Clarification: “Lightning Fast” Arbitration in Delaware Chancery Court

Here is a clarification on my recent blog about Delaware’s new arbitration process from a member:

Unless folks read Francis’ alert closely, I think it might confuse people, as I know it confused me. This new development is about bringing arbitration of contract claims to Delaware Chancery Court, with the Chancellors serving as arbitrators. It seems like a good idea and one that is noteworthy. But the blog post incorrectly suggests this new development is for all suits in Chancery (where the state pretty much already has a “rocket docket” whenever needed) – and misses the important point that the new rules allow the Chancellors to get involved in cases that normally wouldn’t be in Chancery to begin with.
