Supreme Court of Rhode Island
Uag West Bay Am, LLC v. Nicholas E. Cambio
February 5, 20102010 R.I. LEXIS 20
Summary
The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s denial of an extension of time to file a notice of appeal and the dismissal of the Condominium Association’s appeal. It held that the judgment was effective when the clerk signed it, and that the clerk’s failure to mail notice or docket the entry did not invalidate the judgment. The Court also found the Association’s claim of excusable neglect unpersuasive, emphasizing the primary attorney’s responsibility to ensure timely filing.
