Daniela Turacova, M.d. v. Patricia Dethomas

Summary

The Supreme Court of Rhode Island affirmed the Superior Court judgment awarding $658,573.28, including prejudgment interest, to the estate of Ronald DeThomas. The Court held that the operating agreement, not the settlement agreement, governed the buyout timing, that prejudgment interest was proper because a breach of contract claim existed, and that the June 1, 2010 judgment was the operative final judgment for appeal purposes. The Court also reiterated that Rule 60(b) motions are reviewed for abuse of discretion.
