Neighborhood Builders, Inc. v. Town of Madison

Summary

The court affirmed an interlocutory order certifying a class limited to entities that directly paid allegedly excessive building permit fees to the town. It held that the town could not obtain appellate review of whether CUTPA applies to municipalities because that issue had not been raised or decided in the certification proceeding and no final judgment had entered. The court also held that the trial court properly addressed ascertainable loss, remoteness, predominance, and superiority, and that any changed circumstances should be presented through a motion to decertify. The justices concurred and no separate opinion was filed.
