• 233 Conn. App. 843

Syllabus

The defendant appealed from the judgment of the trial court granting the plaintiff's application for a prejudgment remedy. The defendant claimed that the court improperly granted the application and ordered that the plaintiff could attach, garnish or encumber any of her real or personal property to a certain value because it failed to consider and apply the statutory homestead exemption (§ 52-352b (21)). Held: This court declined to reach the merits of the defendant's claim regarding the homestead exemption, as the claim was raised for the first time in the defendant's posthearing brief and was not properly preserved for appellate review, and, because no evidence was offered regarding the fair market value of the defendant's home and the court did not make any such finding, the record was inadequate for review. Argued April 23—officially released July 22, 2025
