View this case - free  

Overview: Because a corporation accurately stated and summarized statements that an individual made in his deposition, the individual's cross-motion to strike the corporation's statement of undisputed facts was frivolous and not advanced in good faith. Thus, the corporation's Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 231 § 6F motion for fees and costs was allowed.

York v. Zurich Scudder Invs., Inc., No. 05-P-976, APPEALS COURT OF MASSACHUSETTS, June 26, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Summary judgment for employer was proper; salesman had no right to incentives he earned but was not paid before he left company. He was an at-will employee, employer had a right to unilaterally modify incentive plan, and eliminating salesman's job due to cost cutting was just cause and not breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

R. Crim. P. 17(a)(2).
