N. B. Kenney Co., Inc. & others v. Town of Hanover & another

The issue presented is whether the plaintiff subcontractor is entitled to a preliminary injunction, on the basis of the contractor's alleged fraud in violation of the competitive bidding statute, G. L. c. 149, § 44D½(h), enjoining the town and contractor from proceeding with the construction of a high school.

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.
