View this case - free

Commonwealth Dev., LLC v. HNW Digital, Inc., Opinion No.: 97587, Docket Number: 2005-4055F, SUPERIOR COURT OF MASSACHUSETTS, AT MIDDLESEX, March 21, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Because a landlord sought future rent payments from a tenant in a prior action and failed to reserve the right to collect those payments in a later action, the doctrine of res judicata precluded it from relitigating the issue; consequently, summary judgment in favor of the tenant was appropriate.

Commonwealth v. LeClair, No. 06-P-771., APPEALS COURT OF MASSACHUSETTS, March 21, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Because there was no indication that defendant was intoxicated, his statements to police were voluntary; the trial court properly denied defendant's suppression motion since a witness's improperly admitted prior acts testimony did not prejudicially impact the jury, and evidence of defendant's knowledge that a co-venturer was armed was very strong.

View this case - free  

Overview: Teacher's written presentment of a negligence claim against a school district was not fatally deficient under Mass. Gen.

View this case - free  

Overview: A bank's employee manual did not constitute an implied contract with plaintiff. The bank retained the right to unilaterally modify it; individual policy documents took precedence over it; the bank did not negotiate it with plaintiff; it stated no term of employment; the bank did not highlight certain provisions; and plaintiff did not sign it.

Commonwealth v. Martinez, Opinion No.: 97651, Docket Number: 06-16, SUPERIOR COURT OF MASSACHUSETTS, AT ESSEX, March 22, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's motion to suppress cocaine, heroin, and cash found on his person was denied, as an officer's reasonable suspicion that defendant was hiding something unlawful provided probable cause to search defendant's pocket. However, the search of defendant's car was not a valid search incident to arrest (Mass. Gen. Laws Ann. ch. 276, § 1).

Laws ch. 71, § 89, was not subject to judicial review under the certiorari statute, Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 249, § 4, because the board's decision was not made in the context of a judicial or quasi-judicial proceeding.

Weitz v. Collins, Docket Number: 06-0977B, SUPERIOR COURT OF MASSACHUSETTS, AT PLYMOUTH, March 22, 2007, Decided, March 22, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Mass Gen. Laws ch. 90, § 24 1/2, requiring individuals with two or more operating under the influence convictions to install an Ignition Interlock Device on their vehicles, was not an ex post facto law. The statute was remedial in nature; the fact that it imposed a heavy burden upon individuals such as plaintiff did not render it punitive.
