Housing Association

The Appeals Court recently affirmed the decision of the Superior Court granting summary judgment in favor of our client, a housing association which contains approximately 400 homes, a man-made lake and swimming and boating facilities, concluding that our client owns the lake and can promulgate rules and regulations with respect to it. 

This was a substantial victory for the housing association in a case involving many complex issues concerning title to real property, membership in the housing association and abutters rights.  One of our senior partners, Thomas (TJ) Conte successfully argued the cases in the Superior Court on summary judgment and in the Appeals Court.

Superior Court Rules Favorably for Local Company, Protects Trade Secrets
We obtained an injunction for our client in Superior Court against two former employees.  Despite the absence of a written agreement, the Court ruled preliminarily that the former employees may have breached their fiduciary duties and stolen trade secrets.  The Court ordered that the former employees’ computers be seized and that mirror images of the hard drives be made to preserve the evidence stored on the computers’ hard disks.
Commonwealth Superior Court Rules Favorably, Strikes Down "Lineman's Statute"
Our client, a major electricity distribution operation, obtained a favorable summary judgment from Judge Gants of the Business Law Session of the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Court declared the so-called Lineman's Statute, a Massachusetts Statute establishing minimum staffing and safety requirements for work on high tension wires, unconstitutional because it conflicted with and was preempted by parallel Office of Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations.
