Supreme Court of Rhode Island

The Shelter Harbor Conservation Society, Inc. v. Charles A. Rogers — Robinson, J., Dissenting

June 17, 20112011 R.I. LEXIS 84

Summary

Justice Robinson dissents from the Court’s affirmation of summary judgment, arguing that the trial court erred in finding the map unambiguous and that, under Rule 56, summary judgment should be granted only when no genuine issue of material fact exists. He stresses that a “tie” in ambiguity analysis should favor a trial on the merits.
