Citizens Bank v. Travers, No. 06-P-1429, APPEALS COURT OF MASSACHUSETTS, May 29, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: In a case involving attorney's fees under a note, a municipal court erred in awarding only $ 300 of the $ 4,200 requested for attorney's fees because the note was a contract of adhesion, drawn entirely in the bank's favor, and the municipal court made no findings explaining the decision; the amount awarded appeared unreasonably low.

Kennie v. Natural Res. Dep't, No. 06-P-463., APPEALS COURT OF MASSACHUSETTS, May 29, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Judgment was affirmed as constable's statements that he was "mandated to do whatever it (took)" to keep dock from going in were not threats under Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 12, § 11I. It was unreasonable to assume that statement expressed intent to inflict physical harm. Fear of further spending was not financial harm under Massachusetts Civil Rights Act.

Overview: Landowners were not entitled to summary judgment under Mass. R. Civ.
