Supreme Court of Rhode Island

Clean Harbors Environmental Services, Inc. v.96-108 Pine Street LLC v. J.R. Vinagro Corporation J.R. Vinagro…

January 5, 2023

Summary

The Supreme Court vacated the Superior Court’s judgment, holding that the trial justice erred by failing to determine a prevailing party under the contract’s mandatory fee‑shifting provision and by incorrectly excluding Vinagro’s unjust‑enrichment claim from that provision; the matter is remanded for a fact‑intensive determination of the prevailing party.
