Egide Mbabazi & a. v. Megastore Wholesale ( 2015 )

THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
SUPREME COURT
In Case No. 2015-0090, Egide Mbabazi & a. v. Megastore
Wholesale, the court on October 9, 2015, issued the following
order:
Having considered the briefs and record submitted on appeal, we
conclude that oral argument is unnecessary in this case. See Sup. Ct. R. 18(1).
We affirm.
The defendant, Megastore Wholesale, appeals an order of the Superior
Court (Delker, J.) awarding damages to the plaintiff, Egide Mbabazi, in the
amount of $5,947 plus 11.75 percent annual interest until payment is made.
The defendant raises numerous challenges to the court’s order finding that the
parties agreed on a purchase price for a used automobile of $12,000, plus
finance charges and fees, and that the defendant took advantage of the
plaintiff’s limited English ability to bind him to a financing agreement based
upon a total purchase price of $18,982.
As the appealing party, the defendant has the burden of demonstrating
reversible error. Gallo v. Traina, 166 N.H. 737, 740 (2014). Based upon our
review of the trial court’s well-reasoned order, the defendant’s challenges to it,
the relevant law, and the record submitted on appeal, we conclude that the
defendant has not demonstrated reversible error. See id.Affirmed.
Dalianis, C.J., and Hicks, Conboy, and Lynn, JJ., concurred.
Eileen Fox,
Clerk
