The defendant argued that it does not have the financial ability to provide security services and therefore the defendant should have no liability under any of the theories asserted by the plaintiffs. By this argument, the defendant is putting the cart before the horse, since the question of liability is not answered by reference to a defendant’s financial circumstances. Lowery v. Robinson, 13 Mass. App. Ct. 982, 982 (1982). Financial ability may be relevant in fashioning appropriate relief, however.
