Sara Roman v. The City of Providence

Syllabus

In these consolidated appeals, the plaintiff, Sara Roman, appealed from two Superior Court judgments, the first in favor of the defendants, the City of Providence, Shomari Husband in his capacity as Treasurer for the City of Providence, and Harrison Peters in his capacity as superintendent of Providence Public School District (collectively, the city), and the second in favor of the defendant K. Scott Construction & Disposal, Inc., following the grant of each respective defendant's motion for summary judgment. Following a de novo review, the Supreme Court vacated the judgment of the Superior Court in favor of the city and affirmed the judgment of the Superior Court in favor of K. Scott Construction & Disposal, Inc. The matter was remanded to the Superior Court for further proceedings.
