Advance Release Opinions – January 19

The Connecticut Appellate Court advance released an opinion about breach of contract that I review below. The Court also released opinions about criminal law and habeas corpus that I do not review. There were also nine memorandum decisions that I don’t review because there isn’t anything to review.

Breach of Contract

Finney v. Cameron’s Auto Towing Repair – Nothing particularly interesting in this one. Finney sued Cameron’s claiming Cameron’s breached a contract to fix his car. Cameron’s denied there was any agreement to fix Finney’s car and counterclaimed for towing and storage charges. Trial court granted Cameron’s summary judgment on Finney’s claim and Cameron’s counterclaim. The Appellate Court affirmed summary judgment as to Finney’s claim, but reversed as to Cameron’s counterclaim because Cameron’s summary judgment papers did not demonstrate entitlement to recovery.
