Hurwitz Sagarin & Slossberg Defeats $3 Million Prejudgment Remedy Application
11/14/2025Hurwitz Sagarin & Slossberg (HS&S) attorneys David Slossberg and Julie Pinette successfully represented a commercial real estate developer in defeating a $3 million prejudgment remedy application. The Connecticut Superior Court, Judicial District of New Haven denied the application in full, finding no probable cause that the plaintiff would prevail over its breach of contract and unjust enrichment claims.
The case arose after a failed business deal to construct and operate a sports complex at the former Mass Mutual campus in Enfield, Connecticut.
The application sought to attach up to $3 million of assets based on an assignment agreement to the purchasing rights of the property, as well as a subsequent amendment. The Court found that the applicant failed to meet its burden of demonstrating probable cause that a judgment would be rendered in its favor in the amount of $3 million, particularly given the potential counterclaims asserted by Attorneys Slossberg and Pinette.
This ruling is especially noteworthy given that prejudgment remedies are difficult to defeat due to their lower evidentiary standard. HS&S is pleased to be able to achieve this complete victory on behalf of its client.
