App. Ct. at 212 , we acknowledged the requirement of Watros that a challenge to the presumption of standing that is held by an abutter must be “supported by evidence.” We found that the opponent to the plaintiff’s claim of standing had, at trial, provided abundant affirmative evidence to refute the plaintiffs various claims of legally cognizable injury (devaluation of her property due to the construction of a communications tower, structural integrity of the tower, and radio frequency interference). 2005Id. at 213-214. | 1 | 1 |

2 sentences1990That the common law presumption of legitimacy may now be rebutted, in some circumstances, by clear and convincing evidence, C.C. v. A.B., supra at 687 , the same standard for rebuttal of the statutory presumption, does not suggest that the statutory concept “born out of wedlock" applies in these circumstances. *588 Not only does the statute create a presumption that the husband is the child’s father, but it precludes a challenge to that presumption being raised by a man in the same circumstances as the person alleged to be the father in this case. 1990C.C. v.
