Superior Court of Delaware

In an action arising from injuries received in a car accident, plaintiff's motion to amend complaint to add her son, who had been riding in the vehicle at the time of the accident, is denied where the proposed amendment would add a new claim, requiring the defense to defend an entirely different case on every element except liability, the amendment was not prosecuted vigorously or timely, and there was no evidence that allowing it would serve compelling interests of justice.
