Dime Savings Bank v. Cornaglia

Connecticut Appellate Court

Decided February 8, 1994No. 12098Published

1DissentLavery, J.

Because the facts of this case, established by the record, reveal manifest injustice, I respectfully dissent.

The facts of this case are undisputed. The defendant Rose Marie Cornaglia mortgaged her home to The *557Dime Savings Bank of Wallingford so that her son, Carl, and his wife, Lucy, could buy property in Wallingford known as parcel B. Although Carl and Lucy signed a note promising to pay the bank $150,000, Rose never signed the note. Rose mortgaged her home because the bank wanted more security than the mortgages on parcel B and Carl and Lucy’s house at 58 North Branford Road in Wallingford.1
