First Circuit: Limoliner, Inc. v. Dattco, Inc.

Contract interpretation, consumer protection - bus repairs.

Give that the analogous regulation relied upon is in the consumer protection portion of the code and the law in question is in the motor vehicle portion of the code, question on applicability of the law to businesses to business transactions certified to Massachusetts SJC.

Party's spoken stipulation that the work should be done "as soon as possible" is not a binding contractual term of performance.

No clear error in magistrate's holding that that work was timely performed.

Damages affirmed.
