Facts: A restaurant tenant stopped paying rent for its commercial space. It claimed that a nearby state construction project had substantially decreased its profits because the construction blocked the entrance’s visibility and forced customers to take an indirect route to reach the restaurant. The owner sued it for breaching its lease. The owner asked the court for a judgment in its favor without a trial.
Decision: A Massachusetts trial court ruled in favor of the owner.
