Old Pilgrim Insurance v. Monarch Life Ins. Co.

Appeals Court of Massachusetts
Dec 23, 1980
413 N.E.2d 1134 (Mass. App. Ct. 1980)

Opinion

December 23, 1980.

Jean M. Kelley for the plaintiff.

Joan A. Lukey for the defendant.


As the sole claim of appeal was directed to the interlocutory order allowing the defendant's motion for summary judgment (see and compare J.B.L. Constr. Co. v. Lincoln Homes Corp., 9 Mass. App. Ct. 250, 253 [1980]), rather than to the "final judgment" (G.L.c. 231, § 113, as appearing in St. 1973, c. 1114, § 202), the appeal must be dismissed. Nantucket Land Council, Inc. v. Planning Bd. of Nantucket, 5 Mass. App. Ct. 206, 207, 216 (1977). If we were to consider the merits of the questions raised below (see Kelsey v. Panarelli, 5 Mass. App. Ct. 480, 482 [1977], and cases cited), we would affirm for the reasons given by the judge when he allowed the motion.

Appeal dismissed.
