What happened
This is a proposed class action against Delaware State Escheator Brenda Mayrack and other state officials, apparently challenging the operation of the state's Escheat Special Fund. The plaintiff sought a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction, which were denied, and the court has ordered expedited discovery concerning the fund. These are allegations in a newly filed case, not proven facts and not yet a settlement.
Do you qualify?
No settlement exists yet, so there is nothing to file and no class definition to check. If the case settles, the settlement will define exactly who qualifies — watch this case and we'll let you know.
How to file
