Fedus v. Planning & Zoning Commission

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting presumption that, if legislature intends to limit or expand jurisdiction, it knows how to express that intent
• relying on ‘‘strong presumption of jurisdiction’’ in con- cluding that statutory requirements for bringing admin- istrative appeal, even though cast in mandatory terms, were not jurisdictional
• “in determining whether a court has subject matter jurisdiction, every presumption favoring jurisdiction should be indulged” [internal quotation marks omitted]
• to extent that statute limits or deprives court of jurisdiction, legislature's intent to do so must be explicitly expressed
• § 8-8 [g] requires dismissal of zoning appeal in event of failure to make service to zoning board subject to applicable savings provision such as § 52-593a [a]
• “it is evident, albeit by implication, that the failure to make timely service on the board does deprive the court of subject matter jurisdiction over the appeal”
