ewport and New Road, LLC v. Steven D. Hazard

June 22, 2023

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s summary judgment, holding that the three‑month statute of limitations in G.L. 1956 §§ 44‑5‑26 and 44‑5‑27 applies to petitions filed under § 44‑5‑26(c), rendering the petitioner’s challenges untimely. The Court relied on plain‑meaning interpretation and the statutory scheme to reach this result.
