America's Wholesale Lender v. Pagano, (AC 24447), APPELLATE COURT OF CONNECTICUT, February 15, 2005, Officially Released
View this case - free  

Overview: While Conn. Gen. Stat. ? 52-123 cured circumstantial errors in misnaming defendants, the statute did not apply to a mortgagee which brought a foreclosure action in its trade name rather than its legal corporate name, since the mortgagee initiated the lawsuit as a fictitious entity with no legal existence; thus, the court lacked jurisdiction.

America's Wholesale Lender v. Silberstein, (AC 24592), APPELLATE COURT OF CONNECTICUT, February 15, 2005, Officially Released
View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction in foreclosure action as plaintiff trade name had no standing to sue; as trade name never legally existed, there was no legally recognized entity for which there could be a substitution pursuant to Conn. Gen. Stat. ? 52-109, so substitution of mortgage assignee did not cure the jurisdictional defect.

Overview: Since a finding of actual notice could be inferred from the marshal's return of service which reflected in-hand service on the subsequent encumbrancer's registered agent, the presumed finding of actual notice obviated the need to grant a continuance pursuant to Conn. Gen. Stat. ? 52-87. Thus, the motion to reopen the foreclosure was denied.
