Massachusetts District Court, Appellate Division October 15, 2012 (Jason v. City of Lowell)

Singh, J.

After failing to receive what he believed was due to him under a settlement agreement with his former employer, the plaintiff filed this action alleging a violation of the Massachusetts Wage Act, G.L.c. 149, §§148, 150 (‘Wage Act”) and seeking not only the amounts due under the settlement agreement, but also treble damages, attorney’s fees, and costs.
