  4. Message Center Mgt., v. Commn. of Revenue Serv

    50 Conn. Supp. 317 (Conn. Super. Ct. 2006)   Cited 4 times

    (Citations omitted; internal quotation marks omitted.) Murphy, Inc. v. Remodeling, Etc., Inc., 62 Conn. App. 517, 522-23, 772 A.2d 154, cert. denied, 256 Conn. 916, 773 A.2d 945 (2001). In Murphy, Inc., the court found that the unambiguous language of an agreement titled "`[l]ease [a]greement'" did not indicate any intention to surrender exclusive possession of the premises despite containing "words customarily used in a lease, i.e., `lessor,' `lessee' and `lease,'" and therefore, was not a lease but a license.
