Gillis v. Gillis
Supreme Court of Connecticut

1Opinion of the CourtCovello, J.
This is an appeal from the denial of the motions of the defendant Frank L. Gillis1 to open or set aside stipulated judgments rendered by the trial court that purported to settle all claims arising out of two actions brought by the plaintiff, Howard T.
