SJC-10017
Marilyn Gianocostas & another, administrators v. Rui Hotels, S.A. & others
The issue presented is whether Massachusetts should adopt § 311 of the Restatement (Second) of Torts and thereby recognize a cause of action for negligent misrepresentation that involves the risk of physical harm.
Interested parties may file their briefs in the Office of the Clerk for the Commonwealth, John Adams Courthouse, Suite 1-400, Pemberton Square, Boston MA 02108-1724 (Telephone 617-557-1020). Parties filing amicus briefs are expected to comply with the requirements of Rules 17, 19 and 20 of Mass. Rules of Appellate Procedure. Amicus briefs, to assist the court, should focus on the ramifications of a decision and not solely on the interests of the parties filing such briefs.
