Supreme Court of Rhode Island

Edc Investment, LLC F/k/a Edc Pizza, LLC v. Utgr, Inc.

June 1, 2022

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s dismissal of EDC Investment’s breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, and breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing claims, finding the landlord‑tenant relationship was typical and the lease terms unambiguous. The court applied the Rule 12(b)(6) standard, holding that the plaintiff’s allegations, even when linked to the lease and release, did not establish a viable cause of action.
