If an application is refused or rejected, to which court can the applicant appeal?

The correct choice reflects the appropriate legal process for an applicant seeking to appeal a decision related to a license or application within the jurisdiction of Delaware. In Delaware, when an application, such as one for a funeral service license, is refused or rejected, the appeal must be made to the Superior Court. This court has jurisdiction over appeals from state agencies, including boards and commissions, which handle licensing and regulatory matters.

The other courts listed, such as the Supreme Court or Family Court, serve different functions. The Supreme Court mainly handles appeals dealing with significant legal questions and certain cases from lower courts, while the Family Court specifically addresses matters related to family law, including divorce and child custody, which are not related to professional licensing. The District Court generally deals with lesser civil claims and criminal matters, and is not the appropriate venue for this type of regulatory appeal. Thus, the mechanism for an applicant to contest a refusal of their application is correctly placed within the Superior Court's jurisdiction.
