• 207 Conn. App. 616

Syllabus

The plaintiffs, K and M, sought an injunction and to recover damages from the defendants for trespass, private nuisance, common-law negligence and statutory negligence in connection with a property dispute between the parties concerning surface water runoff onto certain real property located directly between the parties' properties. F Co., a limited liability company of which K is the principal and sole member, holds title to the subject property, which is maintained as a rental property. The plaintiffs never owned, occupied or resided at, or had a possessory interest in, the subject property. Following a trial on the merits, the trial court rendered judgment in favor of the defendants, from which the plaintiffs appealed to this court. Held that the plaintiffs lacked standing to maintain this action in their individual capacities against the defendants and, as self-represented individuals, could not maintain it on behalf of F Co., and, therefore, the action should have been dis- missed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
