Del. R. Evid. 508
Comment
Rule 508(a) and (c) tracks U.R.E. 508 which is based on draft of F.R.E. 509. See comment to Rule 501.
Rule 508(b) is new. The Committee believed that U.R.E. 508(b), which would abolish all governmental privileges except as created by the Constitution or statutes, is undesirable.
