Head Matter:
Angela Zavras v. Beth David Synagogue et al.
Superior Court Fairfield County at Stamford
File No. 5984
Memorandum filed September 17, 1963
Morton E. Marvin, of Stamford, for the plaintiff.
Francis J. Moran, of New Haven, specially for defendant St. George Greek Orthodox Church.
Pullman, Comley, Bradley & Reeves, of Bridgeport, specially for defendant Beth David Synagogue.

Opinion:
MacDonald, J.
Although a plea in abatement normally would be the proper pleading by which to attack irregularities in serving a writ as "facts which otherwise would not be apparent to the Court," as pointed out in Laraia v. Pilgard, 14 Conn. Sup. 431, cited by the plaintiff, the writ and complaint herein were not even filed in court until several weeks after the return day, making it impossible for the defendant to file such a plea within the time prescribed by § 82 of the 1951 Practice Book.
Perhaps some other form of motion would be preferable, but the language of the court in Jepsen v. Toni Co., 20 Conn. Sup. 287, 294, seems to indicate the propriety of a motion to quash under such circumstances.
The motion to quash is granted.
