Supreme Court of Connecticut

Scott Levine v. Town of Sterling

April 12, 2011300 Conn. 521

Summary

The court held that the trial court had subject matter jurisdiction because the plaintiff had no available administrative appeal from the land-use decisions. It upheld the town's authority to enact the ordinance because previously repealed regulations did not supersede it. The court reversed and remanded the municipal estoppel claim because the trial court improperly required proof of a capital investment or useless improvements to establish substantial loss.
