Head Matter:
Thelma Largen v. Arstine McClellan
Court of Common Pleas Fairfield County at Bridgeport
File No. 97407
Memorandum filed July 3, 1972
David J. Sullivan, Jr., of Bridgeport, for the plaintiff.
Jacob Y. Sachs, of Bridgeport, for the defendant.

Opinion:
Martin, J.
This automobile negligence case was tried to the court while a companion case was tried to the jury. The jury returned a verdict against both the plaintiff and the defendant in this action.
The defendant, however, failed to plead contributory negligence as required by § 52-114 of the General Statutes, and that defense is not available to him.
Accordingly, judgment may enter for the plaintiff to recover of the defendant the snm of $1055.50 plus costs.
