Dennis v. Kaskel
Massachusetts Appeals Court

1Opinion of the CourtMcHugh, J.
John J. Dennis sued Rick Kaskel in Superior Court to recover what he claimed were damages arising out of Kaskel’s breach of contract. A judge of that court allowed Dennis’s motion for summary judgment on liability, and after a separate hearing on damages, ordered entry of judgment in Dennis’s favor. Kaskel appeals, claiming principally that genuine issues of material fact require a trial and that disposition by summary judgment was inappropriate. We agree and therefore reverse.
