Supreme Court of Rhode Island

Betilio Suncar v. Jordan Realty

June 29, 2022

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s summary‑judgment in favor of Jordan Realty, holding that a Language Assistance Notice is not required with service of a Petition to Foreclose Right of Redemption and that the plaintiff’s due‑process claim fails. The Court reasoned that Rule 81(a)(2)(B) excludes Rule 4 from tax‑foreclosure actions and that the statutory and executive‑order frameworks provide no basis to vacate the foreclosure judgment.
