• 236 Conn. App. 1

Syllabus

The plaintiff appealed from the trial court's judgment denying its application for a prejudgment remedy against the defendant, the conservator of the person and estate of P. The plaintiff claimed, inter alia, that the court erred in concluding that, on the basis of the definition of property in the statute (§ 52-278a) governing prejudgment remedies, the plaintiff was precluded from attaching P's interest, as an heir, in certain real property that was part of an estate then pending in a probate court. Held: The trial court improperly denied the plaintiff's application for a prejudgment remedy on the basis of its conclusion that the plaintiff could not attach P's interest in the real property, as contingent interests in real property explicitly fall within the broad definition of property in § 52-278a; accordingly, this court remanded the case to the trial court to conduct a new hearing on the application.
