Massachusetts Appeals Court August 11, 2000, No. 98-P-1062 (Jarosz v. Palmer)

Porada, J.

The principal issue in this case is whether the plaintiff’s action against the defendants for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, legal malpractice, and violation of G. L. c. 93A, based upon allegations that the defendants mishandled his legal affairs in the formation of two corporations in which he was a minority stockholder, is barred by the principles of issue preclusion.
