Abstract

This essay advocates a new role for the Delaware Court of Chancery - the handling of mediation business cases. Mediation only cases are matters submitted to the court solely for the purpose of invoking the services of a member of the Court of Chancery as a mediator to help the parties resolve a business dispute through a mediated settlement. The judicial-mediator would have no adjudicative role in the traditional sense, but would solely act to facilitate a mutually acceptable resolution.In the essay, the author identifies the possible utility of this concept - which was recently enacted into law - and its consistency, in broad terms, with the historic role of the Delaware Court of Chancery in filling gaps in corporate instruments and commercial contracts.
