Frances Gammell-Roach v. John Howland and Bradford Soap International, Inc., No. 09-3501 (February 16, 2010)

The Court denied a Super. R. Civ. P. Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss brought by Defendants, John Howland ("Howland") and Bradford Soap International, Inc. ("BSI") against Plaintiff Frances Gammell-Roach.  In her complaint, the Plaintiff has alleged that Howland has engaged in a long course of conduct which constitutes an oppressive freeze-out and a breach of the fiduciary duty owed by Howland to the Plaintiff.  Defendants argued for dismissal on Counts I, II, and V of the complaint asserting that such claims are derivative in nature and Plaintiff has failed to plead a derivative action as required by Super. R. Civ. P. Rule 23.1.  However, the Court held that the allegations in the Plaintiff’s complaint concern conduct of the Defendants which, when considered as a whole, could constitute an oppressive "freezing out" of the Plaintiff as a minority shareholder, as set forth by the Rhode Island Supreme Court in Hendrick v. Hendrick, 785 A.2d 784, 791-92 (R.I. 2004).  Therefore, Plaintiff has not failed to plead a derivative action under Rule 23.1, but rather has properly stated an individual claim for breach of fiduciary duty, for which she will be permitted to prove facts entitling her to relief.

John L. Sweeney, and Theordore A. Platz, III, v.
Christine R. Reed
, No. 05-0565 (February 12, 2010)

Plaintiffs filed a complaint against Defendant, seeking payment of Defendant’s one-third share of a promissory note signed by all three parties, who were members of an LLC. The promissory note, executed on behalf of the LLC, was to be used as working capital for the operation of a restaurant. Defendant counterclaimed, alleging that Plaintiffs breached their fiduciary duties towards her, and thus she  was not liable for the debt.  

Following a non-jury trial,  this Court found that Defendant failed to prove that Plaintiffs breached any of the statutory fiduciary duties enumerated in the Rhode Island Limited Liability Company Act, G.L. 1956 § 7-16-17.  The Court found that Defendant signed the note, and therefore, she was liable to Plaintiffs in the amount of $22,376.39. 

Felicia Howard and Michael Hamel v. Greenwood Credit Union, No. 07-0928 (February 12, 1020)

The Court granted a motion to dismiss based upon lack of subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to Super. R. Civ. P. Rule 12(b)(1) on behalf of the Defendant, Greenwood Credit Union.  Felicia Howard and Michael Hamel (collectively, "Plaintiffs"), individually and on behalf of a yet-to-be-certified class of persons similarly situated, filed an amended class-action complaint ("Complaint") against the Defendant, seeking statutory damages and injunctive relief for alleged violations of G.L. 1956 §§ 6A-9-614, 616, and 625.  The Court denied Plaintiffs’ request for injunctive relief finding that in regard to allegedly defective UCC notices already received by the Plaintiffs, Plaintiffs are not at risk of suffering any immediate or imminent irreparable harm for which there is no adequate remedy at law.  Consequently, Plaintiffs’ Complaint did not fall within the equity jurisdiction of the Superior Court.  Additionally, the Court held that since the Defendant was a third party financier, the appropriate formula to assess statutory damages under § 6A-9-625 is the credit service charge formula.  Accordingly, Plaintiffs’ possible damages, calculated using such provision, can total only $4,906.66, an amount below the jurisdictional threshold of this Court. 

William O. Araujo v. State of Rhode Island, No. 09-0004 (February 12, 2010)

Petitioner submitted to the Superior Court an application for post-conviction relief pursuant to Rule 11 of the Superior Court Rules of Criminal Procedure.  The Superior Court granted Petitioner’s application because it determined Petitioner did not understand the nature of the charge to which he pled nolo contendere.  The Court vacated the plea because the plea colloquy from Petitioner’s 1994 burglary charge lacked any indication that the Petitioner knew and understood the elements constituting the crime of burglary.  Specifically, the Court noted that the judge accepting Petitioner’s plea never explained to Petitioner the essential elements of the charge, the judge never verified that Petitioner’s attorney explained the elements of the charge to him, and finally Petitioner never admitted to facts that constituted the crime of burglary.

Kevin M. Sheehan v. Town of North Smithfield, by and through its Finance Director, Richard F. Erickson, et al, No. 02-1647 (February 2, 2010)

Plaintiff, a former principal, claimed that the Town, through its School Committee, breached a verbal contract with him regarding salary and fringe benefits promised at his hiring and engaged in fraud, negligent misrepresentation, conspiracy and aiding and abetting to avoid paying him his due.  Plaintiff sought compensatory and punitive damages. 

After a non-jury trial, this Court denied all Plaintiff’s Counts—Breach of Contract, Promissory Estoppel, Fraud, Negligent Misrepresentation, Conspiracy, Aiding and Abetting, and Punitive Damages—with the exception of his request for reimbursement of four vacation days pursuant to an implied contract theory emanating from a then-currently enacted School Committee policy.  Because Plaintiff accrued, but did not use four vacation days during his final year of employment with the Town, this Court held that Plaintiff was due payment for those four days pursuant to the School Committee policy. 

For the remaining Breach of Contract and Promissory Estoppel Counts, this Court held that Plaintiff could not rely on alleged promises regarding salary and benefits from School Committee Members or the Superintendent, who all lacked actual authority to make binding contracts.  For the Fraud and Negligent Misrepresentation Counts, this Court found Plaintiff did not prove that Defendants or their agents made statements knowing their falsity and with the intent to deceive Plaintiff, nor did Plaintiff show that he justifiably relied on statements from individuals lacking actual authority.  Finally, for the Conspiracy and Aiding and Abetting Counts, without proving the existence of a valid underlying tort theory or the joint assent to commit an underlying tort, Plaintiff did not establish the claims derivative of Fraud and Negligent Misrepresentation. Finding that the Town’s actions did not rise to a level of criminality, this Court denied Plaintiff’s request for punitive damages.
