The plaintiffs' petition for certification to appeal from the Appellate Court, 200 Conn. App. 755, 239 A.3d 370 (2020), is granted, limited to the following issues:
‘‘1. Did the trial court's order dismissing the defendants' apportionment complaint constitute a final judgment permitting interlocutory appellate review?
‘‘2. If the answer to the first question is in the affirmative, did the Appellate Court correctly conclude that the trial court had improperly dismissed the defendants' apportionment complaint because the plaintiffs' complaint was based in part on a claim of negligence against the defendants, and, therefore, the defendants were entitled, under General Statutes § 52-572h, to bring an apportionment complaint sounding in negligence against additional parties not named in the plaintiffs' lawsuit?''
KELLER, J., did not participate in the consideration of or decision on this petition.
