What notice precedes a Chancery motion to dissolve an ex parte TRO?

The established appearance or hearing on the dissolution or modification motion

The target order must have been obtained without notice. Preserve the actual notice to the party who obtained it.

Responsible actor. The adverse party moving to dissolve or modify the ex parte TRO. Use an independently established appearance or hearing time and the ordinary two-day notice branch. No shorter notice has been ordered.

1. Use an independently established appearance or hearing time and the ordinary two-day notice branch. No shorter notice has been ordered.
2. Exclude the established hearing or conference date and count backward 2 eligible days. Because this period is less than 11 days, exclude Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays. Rule 6(a)(4) moves a required adjustment backward, away from the event.
3. Check the actual holidays, additional closures and applicable electronic or paper boundary.
4. Give the required notice before appearing and moving. Confirm the actual hearing arrangement; the Court must hear and decide promptly as justice requires.

Rule 6(a)(1) excludes the event day. Periods below eleven days exclude intermediate Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays; eleven days or more include them. A final weekend or legal holiday moves forward for an after-event period and backward for a before-event period. Rule 6(a)(3) separately addresses actual Register inaccessibility for filings. Rule 6(a)(5) includes section 501 holidays and days declared by the Governor. Good Friday and Thanksgiving Friday are Delaware holidays. Sunday July 4, 2027 is observed Monday July 5. Check county-specific Sussex Return Day and additional actual closures separately; the bundled calendar does not determine those filing conditions.

Rule 6(c) adds three calendar days after the ordinary Rule 6(a) period only for an act measured after service made exclusively by mail. It applies to party acts, not Court acts. Electronic service, an entry-based clock and a filing-based clock do not acquire that addition merely because a paper copy is mailed. These calculations show the disclosed nonexclusive-mail base component; they do not implement the mail-only addition or infer service effectiveness.

These reviewed calculators use the official edition current as of June 1, 2026. Events before that date and backward periods crossing before that date receive no computed or paid date. This is publication coverage, not a finding that an actual procedural act is late. Historical editions, emergency measures, court-modified dates and actual additional closures require separate review.

Fictitious example

Use an independently established appearance or hearing time and the ordinary two-day notice branch. No shorter notice has been ordered. Ordinary current-edition facts, no changed order and no exclusively mailed incoming service.

Fictitious current-edition facts. This is the disclosed component with no altered order or additional actual closure. It does not establish effective service, completed filing, judicial action or procedural entitlement. Exclusively mailed incoming-service additions require separate review.

Shorter court notice

The Court may set shorter notice. The calculator does not obtain that relief.

Prompt decision

The rule’s promptness requirement for the Court does not give a fixed decision date.

Mail-only service and actual court schedule

Rule 6(c) adds three calendar days after the ordinary Rule 6(a) period only for an act measured after service made exclusively by mail. It applies to party acts, not Court acts. Electronic service, an entry-based clock and a filing-based clock do not acquire that addition merely because a paper copy is mailed. These calculations show the disclosed nonexclusive-mail base component; they do not implement the mail-only addition or infer service effectiveness.

Current edition and historical scope

These reviewed calculators use the official edition current as of June 1, 2026. Events before that date and backward periods crossing before that date receive no computed or paid date. This is publication coverage, not a finding that an actual procedural act is late. Historical editions, emergency measures, court-modified dates and actual additional closures require separate review.

• Use an independently established appearance or hearing time and the ordinary two-day notice branch. No shorter notice has been ordered.
• The base calculation does not obtain an extension, resolve a different branch or establish that the responsible actor completed the required act.

• The established appearance or hearing on the dissolution or modification motion
• The target order must have been obtained without notice. Preserve the actual notice to the party who obtained it.
• The Court may set shorter notice. The calculator does not obtain that relief.
• The rule’s promptness requirement for the Court does not give a fixed decision date.
• Give the required notice before appearing and moving. Confirm the actual hearing arrangement; the Court must hear and decide promptly as justice requires.
• For electronic service and filing, Rule 5(d) uses midnight for an original complaint, notice of appeal, or paper in a summary proceeding or an action ordered expedited. Other papers in other actions must be served or filed by 5:00 p.m. Use Delaware local court time and preserve actual completed transmission and docket treatment. Do not replace the ordinary boundary with a federal midnight rule. Rule 5(c)(2)(B) permits self-represented delivery to the Register with the required fee, deemed filed when delivered. Check actual office availability. Rule 5(e) permits the Court, on satisfactory proof, to deem an unsuccessful electronic attempt timely; relief is not automatic.
