Opinion
Argued December 10, 1968
Decided December 10, 1968
Action, brought pursuant to No. 175 of the 1965 Special Acts (February Special Session), to set aside and cancel a decree of adoption, and for damages, brought to the Superior Court in Hartford County and tried to the court, Klau, J.; judgment for the defendants and appeal by the plaintiffs. No error.
Frank A. Francis, with whom was Seymour L. Kroopnick, for the appellants (plaintiffs).
Francis J. MacGregor, assistant attorney general, for the appellee (named defendant).
Albert J. Callahan, pro se as guardian ad litem for the appellee (defendant Anthony Ciarleglio).
The plaintiffs seek to set aside a decree of adoption, rendered by the Probate Court for the district of Hartford, on the ground that the welfare commissioner failed to comply with the requirements of that portion of what is now General Statutes 45-63 which requires that he shall, in his report to the Probate Court, "indicate the physical and mental status of the child." The subordinate facts support the conclusion of the trial court that there was no basis for setting aside the decree.
