Supreme Court of Rhode Island

Virginia Sharkey v. George M. Prescott — Goldberg, J., Concurring in Part and Dissenting in Part

May 16, 20112011 R.I. LEXIS 59

Summary

Justice Goldberg dissents from the majority’s application of the discovery rule to count 1, arguing that the plaintiff’s affidavit is insufficient to overcome summary judgment, and would affirm the trial justice’s grant of summary judgment for the defendant. He concurs that the factual dispute about the 2001 attorney meeting is a material fact for a preliminary evidentiary hearing.
