The Supreme Court of Florida will not hear about the Dupont Trust and the Nemours Foundation

The Supreme Court of Florida rejected it to apply for a dispute over whether Delaware was briefly cut in the distribution of money from a non -profit trust that has been bound by the late industrialists Alfred I.

The Supreme Court issued three orders last week in which the applications from the General Prosecutor in Florida and two other parties were rejected to review a decision by the 5th district's appeal court.

The Court of Appeal said that the Attorney General of Delaware, Kathleen Jennings, could initiate a lawsuit in which there is a violation of a distribution of money to the distribution of money to states as delawware.

Delaware was Dupont's home state, but moved to Jacksonville in the 1920s.

The appeal of the Court of Appeal last year was part of the decades of legal wrangling via a Dupont Charitible Trust and the non -profit Nemours Foundation, which was founded with money from the trust and offers pediatric medical care in Florida and other countries.

The opinion of the Court of Appeal says: “Mr. Dupont in his will and the documents specifically documented, which specifically documents, clear instructions that the children and the older people get priority from Delaware and before the issue of confidence for children or older people who Live elsewhere, should be cared for. “

In addition, a lawsuit that was submitted at the end of the 1970s led to an agreement that was limited to how much of the trust money, which was distributed to Nemour every year, outside of Delaware. This limit was 50 percent.

The then General Prosecutor Matthew because 2017 submitted a breach of contract against the Trust and Nemours Foundation and violated the trust tasks. In this case, Florida intervened on the side of the Trust and the Foundation.

Together with the Attorney General in Florida, trust and the foundation also asked the Supreme Court to check the case.

As usual, the Supreme Court did not declared its decision to reject the case.
