AC46504 - Aldin Associates Ltd. Partnership v. State ("The plaintiff, Aldin Associates Limited Partnership, which owns and operates gas stations where underground storage tanks for petroleum have been used, appeals from the judgment rendered by the trial court denying its request for a writ of mandamus against the defendants, the state of Connecticut and Katie Dykes, the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection (commissioner), directing them to request the state comptroller (comptroller) to pay the plaintiff's approved applications that were submitted pursuant to an underground storage tank petroleum clean-up program administered by the defendants. On appeal, the plaintiff claims that the court improperly (1) denied its request for a writ of mandamus and (2) failed to shift the burden of proof to the defendants. We disagree with both claims and affirm the judgment of the court.")
AC46166 - Unifoods, S.A. de C.V. v. Magallanes ("The plaintiff, Unifoods, S.A. de C.V., appeals from the summary judgment rendered by the trial court in favor of the defendants Julia Magallanes and Calvin Cordulack on counts two through five of the plaintiff's operative complaint asserting violations of the Connecticut Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (CUFTA), General Statutes § 52-552a et seq. On appeal, the plaintiff claims that the court improperly concluded that (1) the defendants satisfied their initial burden of demonstrating that no genuine issues of material fact existed and that, as a matter of law, the plaintiff's fraudulent transfer claims were time barred pursuant to General Statutes § 52-552j, and (2) after shifting the burden of proof to the plaintiff, the plaintiff had not established the existence of genuine issues of material fact regarding the timeliness of its claims. We disagree and, accordingly, affirm the judgment of the trial court.")
