Raymond D. Burt, Sr. v. John C. Furtado, Nos. 21-243, 244, 245, 246, 247 (May 1, 2023)

Summary

The Supreme Court of Rhode Island affirmed the Superior Court’s grant of six summary‑judgment motions, holding that the warranty deeds and mortgage deed at issue failed to reflect the parties’ intent and were the product of a mutual mistake, justifying judicial reformation. The Court applied a de novo standard of review and concluded that the lower court’s findings were supported by clear and convincing evidence of mutual mistake.
