Massachusetts District Court, Appellate Division June 3, 1999 (Baybank v. Ptaszynski)

Sabra, J.

This case comes before us after a long and tortured history. It began as a civil suit against Joseph Ptaszynski (hereinafter “Ptaszynski”) by Bankboston to recover the balance on a car loan. Ptaszynski filed a counterclaim against Bank-boston as well as the car dealership and one of its salesmen. Discovery was requested of Ptaszynski but none was provided.
