Brosnan O’Malley and Harvey, LLP 400 Fifth Ave. Suite 310 Waltham, MA 02451 jbrosnan@omalleyharvey.com (617) 357-5544 These two cases are subrogation cases arising out of a fire that occurred on November 30, 2017 at 22-24 Magazine Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Quincy Mut. Fire Ins. Co. insured the Washington Allston Condo. Trust, which owned the condominium located at 172-174 Auburn Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts at the time of the fire. That property abuts the 22-24 Magazine Street Property. Commerce Ins. Co. insured Marie-Dolores Solano, the owner of a condominium unit located at 174 Auburn Street No. 3 in Cambridge, Massachusetts at the time of the fire. The current docket sheets for both cases are enclosed. The parties request for interdepartmental assignment and consolidation of these two cases in the Norfolk Superior Court should be granted because: (1) both cases arise out of the same November 30, 2017 fire, (2) the defendants in both actions are the same, (3) the cases involve common questions of law and fact, (4) the witnesses and evidence to be presented in both cases will be substantially similar, apart from each plaintiff's respective damages claim; (5) both actions are in the very early stages of litigation and no depositions have been taken; (6) neither case has a trial date; (7) it ' Commerce Ins. Co. filed an amended complaint naming only MIT 22 Magazine Street Leasehold, LLC and Jones Lang LaSalle Americas, Inc. as the defendants on January 22, 2021 in the Cambridge District Court. Quincy Mut. Fire Ins. Co. will be filing a similar amended complaint naming only MIT 22 Magazine Street Leasehold, LLC and Jones Lang LaSalle Americas, Inc. as the defendants in the Norfolk Superior Court. MIT 22 Magazine Street Fee Owner, LLC will be dismissed from the Norfolk Superior Court action and Jones Lang LaSalle Americas, Inc. will be substituted for Jones Lang LaSalle New England, LLC as the correct defendant in that action. O’MALLEY AND HARVEY Hon. Paula M. Carey March 30, 2021 Page 4 will promote judicial efficiency and economy; and (8) it will conserve the parties’ resources.
