Today I’m putting a new twist on an old post. I originally wrote this post in March of 2008 and it’s worth revisiting.
For starters, I’m tired and my heart just isn’t into generating new content.
Last week, I got involved in a back and forth with one of my favorite Courant columnists, Rick Green.
Anyhow, [...]
Just finished reading the 2008 Connecticut Appellate Review by Wesley W. Horton and Kenneth J. Bartschi and they touched upon the very important case of Allen v. Cox. The authors pose the question: Does a cat get one free bite? Their answer, “No, if the cat has a bad reputationl yes, if it has a [...]
Connecticut has a prejudgment remedy problem.
The statutes do not make it clear as to whether or not a plaintiff can commence an action at the same time that it commences a prejudgment remedy.
I know from experience that some Connecticut court clerks allow this to happen while at least one won’t. I found this out the [...]
It’s going to snow today. I’ll drive home today with zero visibility and without fail I’ll see or not see drivers without their headlights on. Earth to you: headlights are not only to help you see but so that others can see you.
Turn them ON! Don’t be that guy today.
Not only is driving without your headlights on really stupid, potentially negligent, and dangerous [...]
President Bush has a lot to worry about. The economy, two wars, eating pretzels and Barney his dog.
It seems the Reuters reporter isn’t the only person that Barney has bitten. The Boston Globe has this article about how Barney drew blood when he bit the wrist of the Celtics public relations director in September.
What would [...]
Any person who has been absent from his home and unheard of for a period of seven or more years shall be presumed to be dead……Conn.Gen. Stat. Sec. 45a-329
This statute exists to prevent property from going to waste.
So if you are going on a long vacation, make sure to email, write, or phone home every six [...]
Common interest communities are interesting legal creatures.
Most condo owners own both more and less than they may think (that’s another blog post for another day).
Displaying a political sign is a way for a homeowner to show support for a candidate.
Driving around my neighborhood I see signs everywhere: “Obama/Biden” “Annie Hornish” “George Colli” “John Kissel” “Matt [...]
Between my annual battle with leaves, late nights watching the Red Sox, and early morning hearings, I’ve fallen a bit behind in my blogging.
Right now there’s no more late nights watching the Red Sox. In a few weeks, I’ll be dealing with snow instead of leaves and I’ll always have to deal with court hearings.
There [...]
Connecticut Public Act 08-167 requires that anyone who collects social security numbers in the course of their businesses to publish a privacy protection policy that ensures the confidentiality of social security numbers, prohibits their unlawful disclosure and limits access to them.
Connecticut has laws about everything and as of yesterday we have more laws about more things.
I’ve taken great pleasure in writing about ”interesting” Connecticut laws in this blog. Fortunately, there is no shortage of material.
I’m pleased to write that this past legislative session generated more laws. Earth shattering news, I know.
It seems that monogramming dentures was a concern for the [...]
