Background
The office and the record.
Scott M. Dailey served as Sussex County Recorder of Deeds from January 2011 through 2023. The Recorder of Deeds controls the recording office — the same office whose public search system, deeds.sussexcountyde.gov, is documented in Exhibit 03-001 returning inconsistent results for identical search parameters run weeks or months apart. Throughout the record examined in that exhibit, Dailey appears as a member of Statera LLC, one of several real-estate entities transacting in Sussex County during his tenure.
