John Pi v. Delta
Supreme Court of Connecticut
Decided August 1, 1978PublishedCited by 19 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtCotter, C. J.
The plaintiff seeks a writ of habeas corpus to determine the custody of four minor children. The defendant’s motion to quash the petition was granted by the court, and from the judgment granting the motion the plaintiff has appealed to this court.
The function of a motion to quash, which is equivalent to a demurrer, is to test the legal sufficiency of the allegations of the petition. Adamsen v. Adamsen, 151 Conn. 172, 175, 195 A.2d 418. On such a motion, the allegations of the petition are deemed to be admitted. Practice Book, 1963, § 453; Doe v. Doe, 163 Conn. 340, 341, 307 A.2d 166.
