Supreme Court of Rhode Island

Louis Paolino v. Joseph Ferreira

January 14, 2026

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s amended judgment, holding that the plaintiffs’ appeal was not dismissible for untimely record transmission, that the plaintiffs waived review of the trial judge’s curative instruction by failing to object, and that the trial judge did not abuse discretion in permitting limited expert testimony. The Court also declined to dismiss the appeal and remanded no further issues.
