SC20807 - Wahba v. JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("The primary issue before us in this appeal is whether, after an appellate court has affirmed a trial court's judgment of strict foreclosure and remanded the case to the trial court to set new law days, the trial court has authority to open that judgment and render instead a judgment of foreclosure by sale based on changed market conditions. The Appellate Court, in the second appeal taken in this case, answered this question in the negative and further concluded that, even if the trial court had such authority, the plaintiff, Susanne P. Wahba, did not provide an adequate evidentiary foundation for her request that the court consider ordering a foreclosure by sale. See Wahba v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., 216 Conn. App. 236, 239–40, 283 A.3d 1095 (2022) (Wahba II). We granted the plaintiff's petition for certification to appeal to this court from these rulings. See Wahba v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., 346 Conn. 912, 289 A.3d 597 (2023). We conclude that, contrary to the contention of the defendant, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., the doctrine of res judicata did not bar the trial court from entertaining the plaintiff's request that the trial court consider ordering a foreclosure by sale instead of simply resetting the law days. We further conclude that the Appellate Court incorrectly determined that (1) its remand order directing the trial court to set new law days deprived the trial court of authority to entertain the plaintiff's request, and (2) even if the trial court had such authority, the plaintiff's request was not supported by an adequate evidentiary foundation. We therefore reverse the judgment of the Appellate Court.")
