Red Gate Motel, Inc. v. Jo-Ann Albanese

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s judgment awarding possession and damages to Red Gate Motel and upheld the trial justice’s denial of the defendant’s motions to vacate and reconsider. The Court found no abuse of discretion because the record, though incomplete, showed no misapprehension of material evidence. It also declined to address the defendant’s procedural‑due‑process claim due to the lack of a full transcript.
