Bernhard-Thomas Building Systems, LLC v. Dunican,
286
Conn. 548 (2008)
"The
dispositive issue in this certified appeal is whether the Appellate
Court properly concluded that a prejudgment remedy application is not a
civil action for purposes of a subsequent claim for the tort of
vexatious litigation. We agree that such an application is not a civil
action for purposes of a subsequent claim for vexatious litigation, and
accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the Appellate Court."
-
Lopes v. Farmer,
286 Conn. 384 (2008)
"In this malicious prosecution brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C.
Sec. 1983, the plaintiff appeals from the grant of summary
judgment rendered in favor of defendants. On appeal, the
plaintiff claims the trial court improperly concluded that his
claims against the defendants were barred by the statute of
limitations. We agree, and accordingly, reverse the judgment of
the trial court."
