Supreme Court of Rhode Island

Faith E. Jeremiah v. Estate of Andrew A. Jeremiah

July 24, 2024

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the Family Court’s orders, holding that the plaintiff’s remedy for the alleged breach of the marital settlement agreement was specific performance, that the summary‑judgment grant was proper, that the award of the 1982 Mercedes Benz to the defendant was correct, that the plaintiff’s claim for additional storage fees was waived, and that no contempt finding was warranted because the issue was not raised. The Court emphasized that the MSA was clear, silent on repair obligations, and that the plaintiff failed to pursue the appropriate remedy.
