Text: Finally, we briefly address the ninth count of the complaint, alleging violations of CUTPA. It is undisputed that this count is dependent entirely on the allegations set forth in the other counts of the complaint and, therefore, its viability rises or falls on the viability of the other counts. Because we conclude in parts I and II of this opinion that the trial court improperly rendered summary judgment on counts five and eight of the complaint, alleging breach of contract for nonpayment of deferred compensation and renewal commissions, we also reverse the trial court's judgment as to the CUTPA count to the extent that it is dependent on those two counts. The judgments are reversed in part with respect to counts five, eight and nine of the complaint and the case is remanded with respect to these counts for further proceedings according to law; the judgments are affirmed in all other respects.
