ORDER
This 18th day of July 2018, after careful consideration of the parties’ briefs
and the record on appeal, we conclude that the judgment below should be affirmed
on the basis of, and for the reasons stated in, the Superior Court’s well-reasoned
decision dated September 29, 2017. Although we question the Superior Court’s
interpretation, in its September 28, 2015 decision reversing and remanding the
decision of the Merit Employee Relations Board, of 29 Del. C. § 10122 to require
twenty-days advance notice of a change in the start time of a previously noticed
hearing due to weather conditions, we conclude that the cross-appeal is moot in light
of our affirmance of the Superior Court’s September 29, 2017 decision.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior
Court is AFFIRMED.
BY THE COURT:
/s/ Collins J. Seitz, Jr.
Justice
