Del. Code tit. 6, § 7718

Attendance at ADR

Known as the Delaware Voluntary Alternative Dispute Resolution Act

The act spans §§ 6–6 (21 sections).

70 Del

A person may be represented by counsel in all stages of the ADR proceeding. In addition to its counsel, each party must attend the initial ADR proceeding in which the parties make their presentations and submit to questioning and meet with the ADR Specialist. A person may attend through its chief executive officer (or person holding an equivalent position in such entity) or through any other person authorized in writing by the entity’s governing body to so attend, provided such authorized person files a written authorization to attend with the ADR Specialist. The authorization shall state that the representative has the authority to settle the dispute (subject to any limits that are deemed appropriate by the governing body and which limits need not be revealed) and such person is charged with the responsibility of reporting to the party’s governing body on what occurred during the ADR proceedings. Any such report shall be confidential in accordance with § 7716 of this title.
