1Opinion of the CourtFoti, J.
The defendants1 appeal from the judgment rendered in favor of the plaintiffs, Richard Nielsen and Joy Nielsen. Following a six day trial before an attorney trial referee; see General Statutes § 52-434 (a) (4); Practice Book § 428 et seq.; the trial court accepted the reported findings and rendered judgment. On appeal, the defendants claim that the trial court improperly (1) awarded punitive damages, (2) awarded interest retroactively, and (3) allowed the attorney trial referee to rule on a motion to correct. We agree with the defendants’ second claim and reverse in part.
