Thomas L. Depetrillo v. Belo Holdings, Inc.

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the summary‑judgment ruling for Belo and Citadel, holding that the plaintiff lacked standing to challenge Citadel’s right of first refusal and that the appeal was not moot despite the property’s transfer. The Court also affirmed that Citadel’s exercise of the right was valid and extinguished the plaintiff’s interest, allowing the sale of the entire parcel.
