The state Supreme Court has upheld the Delaware Child Victim’s Act as constitutional.

The ruling came late today in the case of James Sheehan v. Oblates of St. Francis De Sales and Salesianum School, where the high court sent the civil case back to Superior Court for a partial re-trial based on mistakes made during jury instructions.

Attorneys for Salesianum had argued that the act was unconstitutional because it briefly lifted the statute of limitations for filing civil claims by child victims for two years.
