The Connecticut Supreme Court narrowly construed the savings statute in a 7-2 decision. The plaintiff’s attorneys say the interpretation could complicate the reliance on abode service.
Paul Laiuppa, the plaintiff, brought a lawsuit against Mary Moritz due to a major motor vehicle collision between the two. The marshal served the defendant at her last known address, but Moritz sold the property. The sale closed on June 8, 2018, and the marshal dropped off a copy of the summons and complaint at the property on June 18, 2018, court records show.
