Tort Law Appellate Court Opinions

by Townsend, Karen

 

AC45296 - Elwell v. Kellogg (Vexatious litigation; “On appeal, the plaintiff principally claims that the court improperly (1) denied her motion for partial summary judgment and granted the defendant’s motion for summary judgment directed to count two of her complaint sounding in vexatious litigation and (2) granted the defendant’s motion to strike count three of her complaint asserting a violation of the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act (CUTPA), General Statutes § 42-110a et seq. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.”)

AC45180 - A Better Way Wholesale Autos, Inc. v. Better Business Bureau of Connecticut (“On appeal, the plaintiff claims that the court improperly (1) failed to consider each defamatory statement contained in the plaintiff’s complaint, and (2) determined that the rating issued by BBB to the plaintiff, in the form of a letter grade, was a nonactionable expression of an opinion, not a statement of fact. We disagree and, accordingly, affirm the judgment of the trial court.”)
