The defendant's petition for certification to appeal from the Appellate Court, 208 Conn. App. 861, 266 A.3d 930 (2021), is granted, limited to the following issues:
"1. Did the Appellate Court properly interpret and apply the requirement of Connecticut's Uniform Commercial Code to notify a consumer-debtor that he or she has a right to an accounting of unpaid indebtedness after repossession of secured property?
"2. Under the Retail Installment Sales Financing Act, General Statutes § 36a-770 et seq., may a retail seller of a motor vehicle, after repossession and sale of the vehicle, credit a retail buyer's alleged deficiency only with the proceeds from the vehicle's sale when the prima facie fair market value of the vehicle exceeded the amount of those proceeds?"
