Opinion
No. 80-19-Appeal.
May 22, 1980.
Hogan Hogan, Thomas S. Hogan, Donald J. Packer, Providence, for plaintiffs.
John P. Toscano, Jr., Town Sol., Charlestown, for defendants.
ORDER
The defendants' motion to affirm the judgment of the Superior Court pursuant to Rule 16(g) is denied for noncompliance with Supreme Court Rule 28. An examination of the record in this case reveals that the requirements of Super.R.Civ.P. 54(b) have not been satisfied. That rule permits the entry of a final judgment as to one or more but fewer than all the parties, but only after an express determination by the trial justice that there is no just reason for delay and an express direction that judgment may enter. Simmons v. State of Rhode Island, R.I., 381 A.2d 1045 (1978). Accordingly, this case is remanded to the Superior Court for further proceedings which may include, within the court's sound judicial discretion, the entry of judgment accompanied by a Rule 54(b) certificate.
