A trial court denied a plaintiff's application for a prejudgment remedy against Pullman & Comley, the Law Office of Bruce Diamond and other defendants accused of bringing "meritless defenses" in a prior action.

But the Appellate Court went further, finding the plaintiff lacked standing.

The plaintiff, Northeast Building Supply LLC, requested a prejudgment remedy in September 2021, and alleged it would recover $600,000 minimum "on the basis of its proposed, unsigned writ of summons and complaint," the decision said.
