Supreme Court of Rhode Island

Evoqua Water Technologies LLC v. Matthew Moriarty

April 29, 2025

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s dismissal of Mr. Moriarty’s amended counterclaim. It held that the litigation privilege barred the claims based on testimony at the preliminary injunction hearing, that the remaining claims were moot or failed to state a claim, and therefore the lower court’s judgment stands.
