Supreme Court of Rhode Island

Gail M. McCormick v. Narragansett Improvement Company, Inc.

May 31, 2024

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court held that the Superior Court abused its discretion in vacating a default entry against Narragansett Improvement Company because the defendant failed to demonstrate good cause with factual attestation. Accordingly, the Court vacated the judgment and remanded for a damages hearing, declining to address the plaintiff’s new‑trial claim.
