The Supreme Court of Delaware recently held that it was not error to exclude a worker’s testimony that she had searched for alternative employment and had not voluntarily removed herself from the workplace where it appeared that prior to trial the employer twice requested documentation supporting her job search, that she had failed to provide any such documentation, and that less than 48 hours prior to trial, the worker produced a "handwritten list of businesses,” without dates, names or contact information of any kind.
