The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that an engagement ring must be returned to the buyer if the wedding falls through, regardless of who's at fault.
Stephanie Taverna Siden, Johnson's attorney, stated, 'They moved the law in Massachusetts in the right direction...no other parties will have to fight over this.'
The court recognized that determining fault in a breakup was difficult, stating that it contradicts the 'principal purpose' of the engagement period.
Nicholas Rosenberg, Settino's attorney, expressed disappointment at the court's view, asserting that the conditional nature of engagement rings is based on outdated notions.
