NORCOTT, J.
The sole issue in this case, which comes to us upon our acceptance of a certified question from the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut pursuant to General Statutes § 51-199b (d),1 is whether a payment made to an injured third party pursuant to an uninsured motorist policy should be treated as one that the tortfeasor was legally obligated to make, and counted toward the retained limit2 in the tortfeasor’s umbrella insurance policy.3 We answer that question in the affirmative.
The record certified by the federal District Court reveals the following…
