Supreme Court of Rhode Island

Richelle Cosmo v. Tina O'Neill

June 17, 2026

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court vacated the Superior Court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Richelle Cosmo and remanded for further proceedings. The Court held that the plaintiff’s unjust enrichment claim failed because she did not confer a benefit on the defendant, and that the doctrine of laches did not bar the claim.
