`
`ORDER REGARDING:
`09/27/2019 143.00 MOTION TO STRIKE
`
`Counsel of record
`
`The foregoing, having been heard by the Court, is hereby:
`
`ORDER: DENIED
`
`The plaintiff has moved to strike the defendants’ special defense of the statute of limitations. In
`accordance with Practice Book § 10-50, the statute of limitations must be raised by way of special
`defense. “A claim that an action is barred by the lapse of the statute of limitations must be pleaded as a
`special defense, not raised by a motion to strike.” Forbes v. Ballaro, 31 Conn. App. 235, 239, 624 A.2d
`389 (1993). Although Forbes v. Ballaro recites two exceptions to this general rule, neither one applies in
`the present case. Id. The resolution of the viability of this defense, as raised by the plaintiff’s motion to
`strike, is more appropriately raised by way of a motion for summary judgment.
`
`Judicial Notice (JDNO) was sent regarding this order.
