Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s partial judgment reforming the mortgage, finding no abuse of discretion in the evidentiary rulings, the authentication of the note, the application of the mutual‑mistake doctrine, the decision to reform only the mortgage, or the conduct of remote hearings. The court held that the trial justice’s findings were supported by competent evidence and that any procedural concerns were harmless.
