Supreme Court of Connecticut

Citizens Against Overhead Power Line Construction v. Connecticut Siting Council

March 25, 2014

Summary

The court held that when an administrative agency grants a timely motion for reconsideration and issues a second decision, that second decision is the sole final decision from which an appeal may be taken under the Uniform Administrative Procedure Act. Because the plaintiffs appealed before the agency issued its second decision, the trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction, and the judgment dismissing the appeal was affirmed.
