The plaintiff's petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 146 Conn.App. 169, 78 A.3d 167, is granted, limited to the following issues:
“1. Under the established principles of the Connecticut Doctrines of Conflicts of Law and the facts of this case, did the Appellate Court properly determine that the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act (CUTPA), General Statutes § 42–110a et seq., applies to this case?
“2. If the answer to the first question is in the affirmative, did the Appellate Court properly determine that the plaintiff failed to satisfy the requirements of CUTPA because under the facts of this case, no trade or commerce occurred in the state of Connecticut?
“3. If the answer is in the negative, did the trial court correctly determine not to award prejudgment interest, punitive damages and certain requested litigation costs?” ROGERS, C.J., did not participate in the consideration of or decision on this petition.
