SC19614, SC19615 - LaFrance v. Lodmell ("This consolidated appeal arises from a marital dissolution
action brought by the plaintiff, Joan LaFrance, against the defendant, Dean W.
Lodmell. On appeal, the defendant asserts that the trial court improperly: (1)
applied General Statutes § 46b-66 (c) to an agreement to arbitrate contained
within a prenuptial agreement between the parties and limited arbitration to
the sale of a jointly owned residential property (residence); (2) denied the
defendant’s request for leave to file an amended cross complaint to assert
certain claims against the plaintiff in the dissolution action; and (3) confirmed
the arbitration awards where the arbitrator exceeded the scope of her authority
and the scope of the submission. We reject the defendant’s claims and affirm
the judgment of the trial court.")
