What changed

The Delaware Superior Court, in the case of Mortgage Connect Document Solutions, LLC v. Green Industrial Development Group, LLC (C.A. No. N23C-01-178 MAA CC LD), has denied Green Industrial Development Group, LLC's post-trial motions. The court reviewed Green's arguments regarding excluded brokerage commissions and its motion for reargument or to alter the judgment. The court found that Green's arguments regarding brokerage commissions amounted to double-counting damages and that the motion for reargument did not present overlooked controlling precedent or misapprehended facts.

This decision means that Green Industrial Development Group, LLC's attempts to challenge the court's prior ruling on damages and other issues have been unsuccessful. The judgment stands as previously determined by the court. No further actions are required from regulated entities based on this specific court order, as it pertains to a concluded dispute between two parties.

Second, MCDS’s M otion for Reargument is denied. Green’s Motion for Reargument centers on o ne issue: “whether the Tenant Improvement Allowanc e addressed in the Court’s January 20, 2026 Post Trial Memorandum Opinion... should offset Green’s damages.” 5 Green reques ts either reargument on the issue or for the Court to “open the ju dgment to allow a dditional test imony.” 6 Motions for reargument are governed by Superior Court Civil Rule 59(e). “The moving par ty faces a heavy burde n on a motion for reargume nt.” 7 A motion for rearg ument “will be granted ‘only if the Cour t has overlooke d a controlling precedent or l egal princ iples, or the Court has misapprehended the law or facts such as would have changed the outcome of the underlying decision.’ ” 8 “A motion for reconsideratio n or rearg ument is not an opportunit y t o rehash 4 D.I. 179, MCDS Letter dated February 3, 2026 a t 2.

Essentially, Gree n wishes to have a seco nd bite of the apple at an alread y- briefed a nd dec ided issue: “by not having t o pay for MCDS’s buildout, Green is saving $1,232, 864.” 11 Thus, “[u]nder Green’s own expectati on damage s theory, to p ut Gr een back i n the same position without a br each, including this amount would be double r ecovery.” 12 The Court notes again, as it did in the Po st - Trial M emorandum Opinion, that Green did not dispute t his deduction in either it s Reply Brief or post -trial oral argument. 13 If Green d isagrees with the Court’s finding, its reme d y is to ap peal to the S upreme Cour t of Delaware. 9 T IBCO Software Inc. v.
