Supreme Court of Rhode Island February 5, 2009, 2008-69-Appeal (Holden v. Salvadore)

OPINION

Justice FLAHERTY,

for the Court.

In light of the current foreclosure crisis in this state and across the country, we are not surprised that we must consider an appeal presented by a homeowner faced with very difficult financial circumstances whose home was threatened by foreclosure proceedings. We do so with empathy for those who have found themselves in that unhappy position.
