Connecticut Superior Court, 1972

Largen v. McClellan

Connecticut Superior Court · Decided July 3, 1972 · MARTIN, J.

294 A.2d 336; 29 Conn. Super. Ct. 518; 29 Conn. Supp. 518; 1972 Conn. Super. LEXIS 189 (Atlantic Reporter, Second Series)

Counsel

David J. Sullivan, Jr., of Bridgeport, for the plaintiff. Jacob Y. Sachs, of Bridgeport, for the defendant.

Opinion of the Court

This automobile negligence case was tried to the court while a companion case was tried to the jury. The jury returned a verdict against both the plaintiff and the defendant in this action.

The defendant, however, failed to plead contributory negligence as required by § 52-114 of the General Statutes, and that defense is not available to him.

Accordingly, judgment may enter for the plaintiff to recover of the defendant the sum of $1055.50 plus costs.
