Contract Law Appellate Court Opinion

by Zigadto, Janet

 

AC45666 - Haworth Country Club, LLC v. United Bank ("The plaintiff, Haworth Country Club, LLC, individually and derivatively on behalf of Newberry Village Holdings, LLC (NVH), appeals, following the granting of a motion to strike, from the judgment of the trial court rendered in favor of the defendant, United Bank, on all counts of the plaintiff's third amended complaint. On appeal, the plaintiff claims that, in ruling on the motion to strike, the court (1) did not apply the proper legal standard, (2) erred in concluding that the plaintiff was not entitled to bring a cause of action against the defendant, and that the plaintiff's status as a noncustomer of the defendant is dispositive as to preclude any allegations of liability against the defendant, (3) erred in concluding that the plaintiff's allegations that the defendant violated banking statutes and regulations regarding what a bank is required to do before opening an account for a customer are not allegations of conduct offensive to public policy under the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act (CUTPA), General Statutes § 42-110a et seq., and that General Statutes § 35-1 is inapplicable to the plaintiff's claims, and (4) improperly failed to address that the defendant, as of the date of service of this action, was on notice that the subject bank account had been opened under an improper and fictitious name and that the money in the account was owned by another party. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.")
