Heightened Disclosure Requirements Hit Cases Newly Assigned to Judge Connolly

May 9, 2022

In recent days, several plaintiffs have had their District of Delaware cases assigned to Chief Judge Colm F. Connolly, who posted two new standing orders related to that courtroom’s disclosure requirements in mid-April: one requiring litigants to disclose details related to any nonrecourse funding arrangements with third parties and a second requiring all “nongovernmental joint ventures, limited liability corporations, partnerships or limited liability partnerships” to include in disclosure statements “the name of every owner, member and partner of the party, proceeding up the chain of ownership until the name of every individual and corporation with a direct or indirect interest in the party has been identified”. None of the new plaintiffs has yet filed a disclosure under the requirements now governing their cases.
