2019While the policies underlying the two concepts often overlap, the finality requirement is concerned with whether the initial decisionmaker has arrived at a definitive position on the issue that inflicts an actual, concrete injury; the exhaustion requirement generally refers to administrative and judicial procedures by which an injured party may seek review of an adverse decision and obtain a remedy if the decision is found to be unlawful or otherwise inappropriate."

2025There is, however, an exception to this finality rule. ‘‘[I]n some circumstances, the factual and legal issues raised by a legal argument, the appealability of which is doubtful, may be so ‘inextricably intertwined’ with another argument, the appealability of which is estab- lished that we should assume jurisdiction over both.’’ Clukey v.

2012In Thomas, our Supreme Court declined to review the defendant’s specific performance claim for lack of a final judgment because it did not satisfy the two prongs of the finality test in State v. Curcio, 191 Conn. 27, 31 , 463 A.2d 666 (1983).

2001"Simply put, the doctrine of res judicata provides that when a CT Page 16846 final judgment has been entered on the merits of a case, it is a finality as to the claim or demand in controversy, concluding parties, and those in privity with them, not only as to every matter which was offered and received to sustain or defeat the claim or demand, but as to any other admissible matter which might have been offered for that purpose ."
