WINTER, INC. v. URBAN REDEVELOPMENT COMM., 160 Conn. 546 (1970)


271 A.2d 61

WINTER, INC. v. URBAN REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION

Supreme Court of Connecticut

ALCORN, C.J., HOUSE, COTTER, THIM and RYAN, Js.

Argued October 7, 1970

Decided October 14, 1970

Appeal from the appraisal of damages for land taken for redevelopment purposes, brought to the Superior Court in Fairfield County at Stamford and referred to Hon. James C. Shannon, state referee, who, exercising the powers of the Superior Court, rendered judgment for the plaintiff, from which the plaintiff appealed. Error; new trial.

Lawrence Gochberg, for the appellant (plaintiff).

Robert M. Wechsler, for the appellee (defendant).

PER CURIAM.

Because the findings of subordinate facts are fatally inconsistent, the conclusion of the referee as to the fair market value of the real estate cannot be sustained.

There is error, the judgment is set aside and the case is remanded for a new trial.
