Lachapelle v. Town of Goffstown

Memorandum Opinion

Batchelder, J.

The defendant, the Town of Goffstown (the Town), appeals the decision of the Superior Court {Barry, J.) denying its motion for late entry of appearance and its motion to strike default. The Town argues that service of process in the underlying suit was defective, because it did not fulfill the statutory requirements of RSA 510:10 (Supp. 1990), that the superior court did not obtain jurisdiction over the Town because service was defective, and that “justice and equity” require reversal of the trial court’s decision. We reverse and remand.
