Foreclosure Law Appellate Court Opinion

by Zigadto, Janet

 

AC47240 - Norwich v. GHT Trust ("This consolidated appeal involves three separate actions brought by the plaintiff in each action, the city of Norwich (city), seeking to foreclose municipal tax liens on three properties, each of which was held by a different trust. The defendants in the respective actions, The GHT Trust, The Rebner Land Trust, and RLS Trust, appeal from the judgments of the trial court, Spallone, J., denying their motions to open after the trial court, K. Murphy, J., rendered judgments of foreclosure in favor of the city and title had vested in others. On appeal, the defendants claim, inter alia, that the court failed to decide whether it lacked personal jurisdiction over the defendants due to insufficient service of process. We agree and, accordingly, reverse the judgments denying the motions to open and remand the cases to the trial court.")
