Procedural History

Action, in each case, to foreclose tax liens on certain real property, brought to the Superior Court in the judicial district of New Haven, where the court, Celotto, J., granted the plaintiff's motions for strict foreclosure and rendered judgments thereon; thereafter, the court, Hon. Anthony V. DeMayo, judge trial referee, denied the named defendant's motions to open the judgments, and the named defendant filed separate appeals to this court, which were consolidated. Affirmed.

Jerald S. Barber, for the appellant (named defendant.)

Mark L. Bergamo, for the appellee (plaintiff).


Opinion


In these actions to foreclose tax liens, the owner of the equity of redemption with respect to several parcels of land appeals from the trial court's denial of his motions to open the judgments of strict foreclosure for the purpose of extending the law days. The decision whether to open a foreclosure judgment rests in the discretion of the trial court. General Statutes § 49-15. After a review of the record, we conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in this case. See New Haven Savings Bank v. Gurland, 3 Conn. App. 508, 489 A.2d 1070 (1985).
