Rudolph Friedmann Wins Martha’s Vineyard Real Estate Dispute

Jon Friedmann obtained a favorable verdict from the Massachusetts Superior Court after a three-day jury-waived trial in a real estate dispute over a property on Martha’s Vineyard. Jon represented the sellers in a case involving buyers who alleged multiple claims, including breach of contract and misrepresentation, stemming from a real estate purchase and sales agreement.

The court found in favor of the firm’s clients highlighting the absence of any breach of the agreement or misrepresentation. The court’s decision was largely based on the explicit terms of the purchase and sales agreement, which indicated that the transaction was not contingent upon securing municipal approvals for an easement. The clear contractual language in the agreement played a pivotal role in the court’s determination of the parties’ responsibilities.

In addition, the evidence presented demonstrated that while the buyers had the financial resources to proceed with the transaction, they faced difficulties in obtaining the necessary building permits. The court emphasized that the buyers were aware of the non-contingent nature of the sale and had actively pursued the required approvals.

The court ultimately ruled that the buyers failed to fulfill the conditions of the agreement, leading to the dismissal of their claims. The court also determined that the sellers acted in accordance with their contractual obligations.
