Opinion

The defendants' petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 165 Conn.App. 305, 140 A.3d 993 (2016), is granted, limited to the following issues:

“Did the Appellate Court correctly determine that the trial court properly determined that: (1) the foreign judgment against George A. Frank was enforceable after concluding that he had minimum contacts with California that warranted the exercise of its jurisdiction; (2) the contract signed by Joan E. Frank was enforceable notwithstanding the provisions of the Home Solicitation Sales Act; and (3) an award of double damages to the plaintiff was appropriate.”

ROBINSON, J., did not participate in the consideration of or decision on this petition.
