1Opinion of the CourtSpina, J.
Steven Trumble appeals from a judgment entered pursuant to an order of the Superior Court allowing the plaintiffs’ (David Clark’s and Linda Clark’s) motion for summary judgment.2 The complaint alleged unrelated claims for (1) money due on a promissory note and (2) contribution toward payment of a debt. Trumble raised thirteen affirmative defenses in boilerplate fashion, including “immunity] from suit due to discharge in Bankruptcy,” and “the applicable statute of limitations.” We reverse and remand on the basis of the bankruptcy defense.
