Monell v. Boston Pads, LLC
Annotate this CaseDefendants in this case were licensed Massachusetts real estate brokerage firms and some of their members and shareholders. Defendants classified Plaintiffs, licensed real estate salespersons, as independent contractors. Plaintiffs filed a complaint alleging, inter alia, that Defendants violated the independent contractor statute by not classifying Plaintiffs as employees. On this count of the complaint, the trial judge granted partial summary judgment in favor of Defendants, concluding that the independent contractor statute did not control under these circumstances to the salespersons in this industry. The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed, holding that the superior court judge did not err in concluding that the independent contractor statute does not apply to real estate salespersons.
