Ambrose C. Mendes, Jr. v. Kirshenbaum & Kirshenbaum Attorneys at Law, Inc.

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s order approving the probate accountings and closing the estate, held that the plaintiff’s on‑the‑record settlement waived his right to contest the denial of a jury trial and the probate matters, and vacated the trial justice’s award of attorneys’ fees because the lower court lacked jurisdiction after the appeal was docketed.
