Danvers-DCH, Inc. v. Hill

Gants, Ralph D., J.

The plaintiff, Danvers-DCH, Inc. (“Danvers” or “Tenant”), leases property in Medford owned by the defendant Kathleen Hill, as Trustee of the A&P Realty Trust (“Hill” or “Landlord”). The crux of the dispute is whether Danvers may exercise its option to purchase the property under the Amended Lease. Both parties have cross moved for summary judgment. Since Danvers obtained a lis pendens from this Court on July 26, 2005, Hill has also brought a special motion to dismiss under G.L.c. 184, §15. This Court will address the cross motions for summary judgment first.
