Ramsden v. Home Coverings Buying Group Inc.

Ramsden v. Home Coverings Buying Group Inc.

Because the motion judge correctly determined that the summary judgment motion was sufficiently disconnected from the oppression remedy action and no prejudice was alleged from immediate payment, the appellate court will not disturb the order for payment and will not exercise its discretion to stay execution or order payment into court despite the motion judge failing to state reasons for refusing those remedies.

Procedural Posture

Civil Appeal From Superior Court Summary Judgment Motion / Appeal to Court of Appeal (motion Endorsed March 21, 2006)

Legal Issues
