The Massachusetts Appeals Court convened on October 3, 2025, to hear oral arguments concerning a case involving HPN and its partners. The session focused on the financial guarantees made by Mr. Willis and Dr. Kanter regarding HPN's debts to the plaintiff.

During the proceedings, Mr. Levinthal clarified the role of Mr. Cantor in HPN, confirming that he was a partner alongside Mr. Willis. However, when pressed for specific references from the case record, Levinthal acknowledged he did not have the documentation readily available but indicated that the details were included in his brief.

A significant point of discussion was the involuntary dissolution of HPN by the Commonwealth on June 19, 2019, which occurred without Mr. Cantor's knowledge. Following this dissolution, a memorandum of understanding was created on June 27, 2019, by the plaintiff, which referred to HPM as the upcoming tenant.

This case raises important questions about the responsibilities and agreements among business partners, particularly in situations of involuntary dissolution. The court's decision will likely have implications for how similar cases are handled in the future, especially regarding the obligations of partners when a business entity is dissolved without their consent. Further developments are expected as the court deliberates on the matter.
