Carolyn M. GALLAGHER, Plaintiff, Appellee, v. WILTON ENTERPRISES, INC., Defendant, Appellantgreen1 sentence2004The court determined that the plaintiff’s claim was not within art. 15’s exception for claims that had been addressed by the court’s equity jurisdiction, as it existed in 1780, in either subject matter or the nature of the remedy sought and, instead, analogized the claim “to common law actions sounding in both tort and contract.” Id., citing Gallagher v. Wilton Enters., Inc., 962 F.2d 120, 122-123 (1st Cir. 1992). | 1 | 1 |
Conway v. Electro Switch Corp.green1 sentence1994The statute clearly affords the plaintiff the “legal remedy of compensatory damages.” Conway v. Electro Switch Corp., 402 Mass. 385, 387 (1988). *225 The defendant concedes that the plaintiff’s sex discrimination claim is analogous to actions at common law, but argues that, absent clear legislative direction, the court should not imply a right to a jury trial. | 1 | 1 |

1 sentence2014Defendants misread the law when they assert that “c. 151B claims and contractual claims based on the same course of action are mutually exclusive.” It is true that Shalaby could “not maintain a common-law breach of contract claim for” Arctic Sand’s “allegedly discriminatory dismissal of [her] because any such claim would be preempted by G.L.c. 151B.” Gasior v. Massachusetts Gen’l Hosp., 446 Mass. 645 , 651 n.8 (2006). | 1 | 2014–2014 |
