Supreme Court of Delaware April 30, 2002, 38,2001 (Chrysler Corp. v. Merrell & Garaguso, Inc.)

WALSH, Justice:

In this appeal from the Superior Court, we address a question of first impression: Does the statutory restriction in 6

Del. C.

§ 2704, which precludes an owner from requiring a contracting party to indemnify against the indemnitee’s own negligence, also invalidate the enforceability of Lability insurance purchased for the benefit of the owner?
