The U.S. Supreme Court will not hear the Delaware Court of Chancery’s appeal of a federal appellate court ruling declaring its confidential arbitration program unconstitutional. In an order issued Monday, the high court said it would not grant certiorari in Delaware Coalition for Open Government v. Strine, 13-869.
The Supreme Court’s decision means that an October 2013 ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit declaring that the arbitration program violated the public’s right to access civil trials under the First Amendment will stand.
