Singh finds that the lower court improperly found defendant does not suffer from a mental abnormality that predisposes him to commit sexual offenses by conflating legal standards in its assessments of the state's case. Further, the court improperly relied upon extra-record psychological research on several important issues, such as the effect of opioid use on sexual offending without notifying the parties. Reversed.

J. Singh finds a lower court properly dismissed the home department's motion for an immigration exemption concerning the processing of personal data rights under the U.K. General Data Protection Regulation.

J. Singh finds a lower court properly dismissed a group of consumers' contract claims against a retail financial service.

J. Singh vacates the superior court's award of a $70,000 engagement ring to a woman after her former fianc�� broke off the engagement. Prior case law "indicates that Massachusetts applies the conditional gift fault-based approach" to determine who should keep the engagement ring. Being the one to end a relationship does not make someone automatically at fault for the ending of the relationship. The man ended the relationship because he had reasonably lost trust in the woman and he is not obligated to prove that she actually had an affair. Reversed in part.

Singh finds that the lower court properly denied the defendant's lender's motion to dismiss a co-lender's suit accusing it of inducing a breach of contract - negotiating a financing agreement when the borrower had agreed not to incur any additional indebtedness - where there is no contractual remedy. The plaintiff lender is not precluded from stating a claim against the defendant lender for tortiously interfering with its loan agreements, even when the defendant was a party to those contracts. Affirmed.
