Opinion

(9541)

Argued March 27, 1991

Decision released May 14, 1991

Action to recover damages for personal injuries sustained as a result of the defendants' alleged negligence, brought to the Superior Court in the judicial district of Fairfield, where the court, Thompson, J., granted the defendants' motion to strike the complaint; thereafter, the court granted the plaintiff's motion for judgment and rendered judgment striking the complaint, from which the plaintiff appealed to this court. Affirmed.

S. Antoinette Morton, with whom, on the brief, was Derby F. Anderson, for the appellant (plaintiff).

Roy H. Erwin, Sr., with whom, on the brief, was Roy H. Erwin, Jr., for the appellees (defendants).


The sole issue in this case is whether the term "owner of land" as used in General Statutes 52-557g includes a municipality or is limited to a private land owner. In Manning v. Barenz, 24 Conn. App. 592, 590 A.2d 980 (1991), this court held that this statute applies to municipalities.
