Opinion

(11141)

Argued March 26, 1993

Decision released April 20, 1993

Action to recover damages for personal injuries sustained as a result of an allegedly defective crosswalk, brought to the Superior Court in the judicial district of New Haven, where the court, Gray, J., granted the defendant's motion for summary judgment as to count one of the two count complaint and rendered judgment thereon; thereafter, the plaintiff withdrew the second count of the complaint and appealed to this court. Reversed; further proceedings.

Steven D. Ecker, with whom, on the brief, was Howard A. Jacobs, for the appellant (plaintiff).

Judith A. Sarathy, assistant corporation counsel, for the appellee (defendant).


This is an appeal from the granting of a motion for summary judgment in an action against a municipality pursuant to General Statutes 13a-149, the municipal highway defect statute. The trial court granted the defendant's motion for summary judgment after concluding that the statutory notice given to the municipality by the plaintiff was inadequate as a matter of law.

After careful examination of the notice, the record and the briefs of the parties in this matter, we conclude that, as a matter of law, the notice was not inadequate.
