Delaware Court Approved Rule to Show Cause is a legal process used to force a party to appear in court to explain why they should not be held in contempt of court, or to explain why they should not be held liable for certain obligations. This rule applies in the Delaware state court system and is used when a party fails to comply with a court order or fails to appear for a hearing. There are two types of Delaware Court Approved Rule to Show Cause: One is a Rule to Show Cause for Contempt of Court and the other is a Rule to Show Cause for Breach of Contract. The Rule to Show Cause for Contempt of Court requires the party to appear in court and explain why they should not be held in contempt of court. The Rule to Show Cause for Breach of Contract requires the party to appear in court and explain why they should not be held liable for the obligations they have failed to fulfill.
