Statewide Virtual Meeting Thu Apr 13th: Housing Court Case Law Update
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.
Part of this presentation will be given by Benjamin Adeyinka, Deputy Court Administrator, Housing Court. In 2002, Ben started a career in banking and real estate. In 2009, he began working with Orlans Moran, PLLC as paralegal and subsequently as an attorney. Ben has represented numerous financial institutions in litigation matters, bankruptcy, and landlord tenant law. He has practiced in the United States Bankruptcy Court District of MA, the Land Court, Superior, District, and Housing Courts. In December 2014, Ben, decided to leave private practice to serve the public. He currently works as the Deputy Court Administrator for Housing Court, where he works closely with the Chief Justice of the Housing Court, Timothy F. Sullivan. Ben received his Bachelor’s in Communications from the University of Buffalo, a Master’s in Business Administration from Medaille College, and a Juris Doctorate from the Massachusetts School of Law with a concentration in Real Estate Law.
You can volunteer for a future event.
