WOOSTER v. HUBBARD

Superior Court New Haven County
Apr 19, 1940

Those paragraphs of a complaint which allege matter evidential only, and an additional paragraph of the complaint which alleges elements of damage not allowable in such a cause of action as the complaint describes, are expunged.

CORNELL, J.

The motion is granted in the following respects because the matter referred to as it appears therein is evidential, only, viz., paragraphs 9, 15 and 16 ( Cook vs. Packard Motor Car Co., 88 Conn. 590, 592); likewise, with respect to paragraph 20, which alleges elements of damage not allowable in such a cause of action as the complaint describes, to reach which defect a motion to expunge appears to be the proper procedure. Seidler vs. Burns, 84 Conn. 111, 113.
