In a Connecticut Superior Court plaintiff’s quiver of legal arrows, the application for a prejudgment remedy is a sharp one. Filing a PJR on a case with merit can bring documentary evidence and oral testimony quickly before a Judge and gets the plaintiff an early chance for a favorable ruling on probable cause. Should the application be granted, attachment of a defendant’s personal and business bank accounts often is a strong incentive toward favorable settlement of the matter short of trial.
In this case, it took several months to get in front of the Judge. Then the defendant’s oral testimony was all that could be hoped for, as he confirmed in open court that he had texted my client an open admission of debt. We waited slightly more than a month for the order granting the prejudgment remedy. It was not surprising, but still elating, when that order arrived this morning.
