6 Del. C. ch. 46 § 4613

(a) Civil action. — (1) a. An aggrieved person may commence a civil action in the county in which the discriminating housing practice is alleged to have occurred not later than 2 years after the occurrence or the termination of an alleged discriminatory housing practice, not later than 2 years after such practice has been discovered or reasonably should have been discovered by the aggrieved person, or not later than 2 years after the breach of a conciliation agreement entered into under this chapter, whichever occurs last, to obtain appropriate relief with respect to such discriminatory housing practice or breach.

b. The computation of such 2-year period shall not include any time during which an administrative proceeding under this chapter was pending with respect to a complaint or charge under this chapter based upon such discriminatory housing practice. This subparagraph does not apply to actions arising from a breach of a conciliation agreement.

(2) An aggrieved person may commence a civil action under this subsection whether or not a complaint has been filed under § 4610 of this title and without regard to the status of any such complaint, but if the Division has obtained a conciliation agreement with the consent of an aggrieved person, no action may be filed under this subsection by such aggrieved person with respect to the alleged discriminatory housing practice which forms the basis for such complaint except for the purpose of enforcing the terms of such an agreement.

(3) An aggrieved person may not commence a civil action under this subsection with respect to an alleged discriminatory housing practice which forms the basis of a charge issued by the Division if an Administrative Hearing Officer or Panel has commenced a hearing on the record under this chapter with respect to such charge.

(b) Appointment of attorney by court. — Upon application by a person alleging under subsection (a) of this section, a discriminatory housing practice or a person against whom such a practice is alleged the court may:

(1) Appoint an attorney for such person; or

(2) Authorize the commencement or continuation of a civil action under subsection (a) of this section without the payment of fees, costs or security, if in the opinion of the court such person is financially unable to bear the expenses of such action.

(c) Relief which may be granted. — (1) In a civil action under subsection (a) of this section in Superior Court, if a discriminatory housing practice is found to have occurred the aggrieved person may be awarded actual and punitive damages; and

(2) Subject to subsection (d) of this section, in a civil action under subsection (a) of this section, in the Court of Chancery, if the Court finds that a discriminatory housing practice has occurred or is about to occur, the Court, as the Court deems appropriate, may grant:

a. Any temporary, preliminary, permanent or mandatory injunctive relief enjoining the defendant from engaging in such practice;

b. Ordering such affirmative action as may be appropriate; and

c. Such other relief as the Court deems appropriate to the fullest extent of its jurisdiction.

(3) In a civil action under subsection (a) of this section, the Court, in its discretion, may allow the prevailing aggrieved person or persons, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs.

(d) Effect on certain sales, encumbrances, and rentals. — Relief granted under this section shall not affect any lease consummated before the granting of such relief and involving a tenant without actual notice of the filing of a complaint with the Division or civil action under this chapter. Relief granted under this section shall not affect any contract, option, sale or encumbrance, consummated before the granting of such relief and involving a bona fide purchaser, encumbrancer or optionee, without either actual notice of the filing of a complaint with the Division or civil action under this chapter, or notice by lis pendens when appropriate under Chapter 16 of Title 25.

(e) Intervention by Attorney General. — Upon timely application, the Attorney General may intervene in such civil action, if the Attorney General certifies that the case is of general public importance. Upon such intervention the Attorney General may obtain such relief as would be available to the Attorney General under § 4614 of this title in a civil action to which such section applies.
