The Housing Court will brief the SJC’s decision in Dacey v. Burgess (SJC 13286). In Dacey, the SJC concluded that the landlord could enforce the agreement that she reached with the tenant through mediation and recover possession of the leased premises, even though the underlying case was not brought as a summary process action.
In keeping with the court’s tradition of public service and fairness, court staff will invite attendees to provide feedback on recent experiences. Note that we distinguish between procedural feedback and case law. For instance, we can share feedback on the process of entering a zoom hearing, but not about why a judge did or did not decide the way we wanted in a case.
Discussing active cases will not be allowed. This event will not be recorded.
