CAROLINA CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANY v. CONNECTICUT SOLID SURFACE, LLC, 207 Conn. App. 525

Summary

HOLDINGS: [1]-The cross claim plaintiff's appeal from the summary judgment rendered on its vexatious litigation cross claim in favor of the cross claim defendant, an attorney, was unsuccessful because a prior action that ended in the summary dismissal of the action by agreement of the parties did not constitute a favorable disposition in the cross claim plaintiff's favor; the undisputed evidence that the parties exchanged consideration in the disposal of the underlying action clearly demonstrated that the crossclaim plaintiff was unable to prove the essential element of favorable termination for the purpose of maintaining a vexatious litigation action.
