SHEPHERD, C.J.,
concurring.
This case presents the difficult question of how to rule when confronted with a grossly negligent defense attorney and a plaintiffs attorney who, as the majority opinion kindly suggests, sought to “expedite litigation by ex parte actions and surprise.” The special concurrence is correct to question the footing on which Apple Premium, exists. However, as between a grossly negligent defense lawyer and an opposing counsel about whom one could be forgiven for thinking that he sentiently shifted his choice of communication points between the defendant’s Connecticut headquarters and its local defense counsel for reasons known only to himself, sentience must yield.
