Balf Co. v. Spera Construction Co.
green
2 sentences2016Nothing in this section shall be deemed to affect an award of attorney’s fees assessed as a component of damages.’’ 8 Although we decline to review this claim, we, nevertheless, mention that the defendants rely heavily on Balf Co. v. Spera Construction Co., 222 Conn. 211 , 608 A.2d 682 (1992), for their argument that the plaintiff waived any claim that there was a live controversy regarding prejudgment interest because, once the court rendered judgment without objection by the plaintiff, the matter was concluded. 2016Nothing in this section shall be deemed to affect an award of attorney’s fees assessed as a component of damages.’’ 8 Although we decline to review this claim, we, nevertheless, mention that the defendants rely heavily on Balf Co. v.

Garrity v. McCaskey
green
2 sentences2012The fact that the Appellate Court failed to give any legal effect to the settlement agreement's express reservation of the plaintiff's right to assert the defense of nonarbitrability suggests that the court may have conflated the question of whether the arbitrators were empowered to decide arbitrability, under which the defendant's reservation of that defense would not bar the exercise of authority, and the merits of the arbitrability question, under which such a fact could be dispositive. [13] I agree with the majority that the plaintiff waived any claim regarding the existence of a condition 2012The fact that the Appellate Court failed to give any legal effect to the settlement agreement's express reservation of the plaintiff's right to assert the defense of nonarbitrability suggests that the court may have conflated the question of whether the arbitrators were empowered to decide arbitrability, under which the defendant's reservation of that defense would not bar the exercise of authority, and the merits of the arbitrability question, under which such a fact could be dispositive.

Caldrello v. Planning Board
green
2 sentences1997“Where the municipal charter prescribes a particular procedure by which a specific act is to be done or a power is to be performed, that procedure must be followed for the act to be lawful.” Caldrello v. Planning Board, 193 Conn. 387, 391 , 476 A.2d. 1063 (1984). 5 We also conclude that the trial court improperly determined that the plaintiff waived any claim that its agent lacked authority to bind it to the arbitration award. 1997“Where the municipal charter prescribes a particular procedure by which a specific act is to be done or a power is to be performed, that procedure must be followed for the act to be lawful.” Caldrello v.
