The defendants' petition for certification to appeal from the Appellate Court, 199 Conn. App. 532, 239 A.3d 321 (2020), is granted, limited to the following issue:
"Did the Appellate Court, on the record in this case, properly reverse the judgment of the trial court rendered in favor of the defendants on the grounds that (1) the trial court committed clear error in finding that a secondary source was responsible for the contamination of the plaintiff's property, and (2) even if there had been a secondary source of contamination, the presence of that secondary source does not mean that the plaintiff failed to prove that the defendants' oil tank contaminated their property?"
