Del. R. Ch. Ct. 2
As amended through November 14, 2024
There is one form of action-the civil action.
Del. R. Ch. Ct. 2
Comment
In 2024, Rule 2 was revised to align its language to the extent possible with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 2 so that authorities interpreting the federal rule could be cited more easily as persuasive authority for the interpretation of Rule 2.
No substantive change in the interpretation of the rule was intended, and prior Delaware authorities interpreting the rule remain applicable.
The Court of Chancery maintains a separate docket for a subtype of civil actions, known as civil miscellaneous actions. Specific rules apply to civil miscellaneous actions.
