Facts

P appealed the decision of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board which denied her claim for unemployment compensation. P filed her opening brief and D, filed its answering brief. It was filed by Campbell, the registered agent of D, through Richard P. Eckman, Esquire. P's Counsel contacted Eckman concerning deficiencies in the answering brief. Eckman said that he neither drafted nor filed the answering brief on behalf D. Mr. Eckman also stated neither he nor any member of his firm had entered an appearance in this case. During the oral arguments, Campbell admitted he drafted the answering brief himself. Campbell did not have a license to practice law in Delaware but D was an LLC, and he did not need one to appear on behalf of D. P contends that a Limited Liability Company cannot conduct litigation in Superior Court without representation by Delaware counsel.
