Deuley v. DynCorp International, Inc.

STEELE, Chief Justice:

In this appeal we consider whether a Superior Court judge erred by holding that under Delaware law the liability clause in civilian police officers’ employment contracts released claims arising out of injuries suffered in Afghanistan. The complainants contend that the liability clause and relevant language purporting to release “any claim” is insufficient to release their employer and its affiliates from claims of negligence. Because the language of the employment agreement clearly and unambiguously releases those claims, we AFFIRM the Superior Court’s judgments.

FACTUAL…
