What is OAD’s role in my case?

OAD is a neutral state agency. It does not represent you or your employer. Instead, it investigates the complaint to determine whether Delaware’s anti-discrimination law was violated.

OAD reviews evidence from both parties and applies the law fairly. Its role is to enforce the statute—not to act as a private attorney for either side.

Law Reference: Delaware Code Title 19, Chapter 7 (§712)
