Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani Hartford Associates Amy Bissonnette and Sheena Landy recently authored an article titled “A Savings Statute That May Not Save: How the Court’s Decision in Laiuppa Could Alter Service of Process Litigation,” published by The Defense, the official journal of the Connecticut Defense Lawyers Association.
The article examines a recent case in the Connecticut Supreme Court where the plaintiff’s attempt to serve process in a motor vehicle negligence action was complicated by the defendant’s property sale and subsequent notification delays.

Bissonnette and Landy both focus their practice on product liability and are members of the Connecticut Defense Lawyers Association.
