Haddad v. Francis

Appellate Court of Connecticut
Jan 26, 1988
13 Conn. App. 324 (Conn. App. Ct. 1988)

Opinion

(5273)

Argued December 17, 1987

Decision released January 26, 1988

Summary process action, brought to the Superior Court in the judicial district of Waterbury, Housing Session, and tried to the court, Barnett, J.; judgment granting possession to the plaintiff, from which the defendant appealed to this court. No error.

Scott A. Garver, for the appellant (defendant).

Michael P. Foley, Jr., for the appellee (plaintiff).


The defendant tenant is appealing the judgment of immediate possession rendered by the trial court in favor of the plaintiff landlord.

The sole question before us is whether the trial court erred in finding that the defendant's failure to pay any increases in real estate taxes constituted willful or gross negligence.

The trial court filed a complete and legally sound memorandum of decision which incorporated the facts found and drew legal conclusions in conformity with applicable law. The trial court's decision so completely articulates the issues involved and so adequately explains the legal basis for its conclusions that it may be referred to for a detailed discussion of the facts and applicable law. See Faith Center, Inc. v. Hartford, 192 Conn. 434, 436, 472 A.2d 16, cert. denied, 469 U.S. 1018, 105 S.Ct. 432, 83 L.Ed.2d 359 (1984); Hinchliffe v. American Motors Corporation, 192 Conn. 252, 253, 470 A.2d 1216 (1984); Cantor v. Department of Income Maintenance, 12 Conn. App. 435, 438, 531 A.2d 606 (1987).

Accordingly, the trial court's memorandum of decision reported in Haddad v. Francis, 40 Conn. Sup. 567, 537 A.2d 174 (1986), should be referred to for a detailed discussion of the facts and legal conclusions in the case.
