Jerry F. Ims v. Richard W. Audette

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s dismissal of the appeal, holding that strict compliance with the statutory deadlines and filing requirements of G.L. §33‑23‑1 is jurisdictional. Because the appellant failed to file a claim of appeal, certify the record, and pay required fees, the Superior Court lacked authority to hear the case. The Court declined to address the appellant’s other arguments.
