An Act To Amend Title 25 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Freedom Of Contract. [HB-371]
Delaware law currently does not allow the parties in commercial loan situations to agree to require insurance policies be given to lenders as evidence of insurance on the collateral, thus inhibiting the freedom of contract. The purpose of this change is to allow parties to have such an arrangement be an enforceable contract. This change does not affect residential owners, who were the intended beneficiaries of the law.
