Description
The plaintiff brought this action for a
declaratory judgment against the defendants named
individually in their capacity as members of the
Hartford Redevelopment Agency, hereinafter
referred to as the agency, and against the members
of the Hartford city council, the city of Hartford
and the Olivetti-Underwood Corporations seeking to
determine the validity of a taking by eminent domain
of land owned by the plaintiff.1 The action
[156 Conn. 524]
arises from the approval by the agency of a
redevelopment project which included within
the area to be taken two parcels of land
belonging to the plaintiff. The court
determined that the action of the agency
was proper, and the plaintiff has appealed,
assigning as error that the approval of the
redevelopment project was invalid because it
was instituted for a private rather than a public
purpose; that the plaintiff's right to due process
was violated at a public hearing held on the
project; and that the defendant Joseph V. Cronin,
who participated in crucial deliberations and
decisions concerning the redevelopment project,
should have disqualified himself because of a
conflict of interest.
