Description
The principal issue in this appeal is whether the trial court properly allowed the jury to ask questions of the witnesses. The plaintiff, Horton Spitzer, brought a professional malpractice suit against his former lawyers, the defendants W. Parker Seeley and Seeley's law firm, Pullman, Comley, Bradley and Reeves, and against his former accountants, the defendants William Arnone and Arnone's accounting firm, Haims and Company, to recover losses incurred in the sale of his business. During the trial, the court allowed the jurors, after direct and cross-examination of each witness, to submit written questions to be asked of the witness after review of the questions by the court and counsel. The court placed a continuing objection and exception to this procedure on the record for all parties. The jury found for all the defendants in a general verdict, and the plaintiff moved to set aside the verdict. The trial court denied the motion and rendered judgment in accordance with the verdict. The plaintiff appealed to the Appellate Court, and we transferred the appeal to this court pursuant to Practice Book 4023.
