AC45318 - AAA Advantage Carting & Demolition Service, LLC v. Capone ("The defendant, Joseph Capone, appeals from the judgment of the trial court rendered in favor of the plaintiff, AAA Advantage Carting & Demolition Service, LLC, on its amended complaint asserting claims of (1) conversion and (2) statutory theft in violation of General Statutes § 52-564. The defendant claims that the court (1) improperly concluded that two savings statutes, General Statutes § 52-591 and/or General Statutes § 52-592, applied to save the present action from being time barred pursuant to the three year limitation period of General Statutes § 52-577, (2) improperly concluded that the plaintiff's claims were not barred pursuant to the doctrine of res judicata, (3) made a clearly erroneous factual finding in concluding that the defendant had committed statutory theft, and (4) erred in awarding damages, including prejudgment interest pursuant to General Statutes § 37-3a, to the plaintiff. We conclude that the trial court committed error only with respect to its award of damages to the plaintiff and, therefore, we reverse the judgment as to damages only.")
AC45354 - Hughes v. Board of Education ("The plaintiffs, Naionna Hughes and her
mother, Juanita Jones,1 appeal from the judgment of
the trial court rendered in favor of the defendants, the
Board of Education of the City of Waterbury (board),
the city of Waterbury (city), Irena Varecka, and Jessica
Giorgi. On appeal, the plaintiffs claim that the court
improperly granted the defendants’ motion to strike
their complaint on the ground of governmental immunity. More specifically, they contend that the court
improperly concluded that the identifiable victim subject to imminent harm exception to governmental
immunity did not apply. We disagree and, accordingly,
affirm the judgment of the trial court.")
