Rollins Leasing Corps. v. Conn. Res. Rec., No. Cv95 0549301 (Dec. 8, 1995)

[EDITOR'S NOTE: This case is unpublished as indicated by the issuing court.]MEMORANDUM OF DECISION ON DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO STRIKE COUNT TWO Defendant moves to strike Count Two of the Complaint alleging a violation of CUTPA based on Defendant's failure to make a payment pursuant to a settlement agreement. Defendant, Connecticut Resources Recovery Authority claims that CUTPA does not apply to it under General Statutes § 42-1100 and, further, that plaintiff has failed to allege a continuing practice within the meaning of General Statutes § 42-110a.

The reasoning and summary of authorities in Progress ParkAssociates v. Connecticut Resources Recovery Authority Superior Court, Judicial District of Middlesex No. 55221 (December 12, 1990), Hendel J.) holding that a CUTPA action does not lie against this defendant is convincing and hereby adopted by this court.

Moreover the simple breach of contract alleged in Count Two is insufficient to maintain a CUTPA action. Koehm v. Kuhn,41 Conn. Sup. 130, 139 (1989) citing Mead v. Burns, 199 Conn. 651,666 (1986).
