Description
There are two questions presented for decision. The first is whether the Court of Appeals erred in dismissing plaintiff's appeal on the ground that the trial court's order of dismissal affected only one of plaintiff's claims, the trial court did not determine there was "no just reason for delay," and the appeal, therefore, was not from a final judgment within the meaning of General Statute 1A-1, Rule 54(b). We think it did. The second, therefore, is whether the trial court erred in dismissing plaintiff's claim for punitive damages for the allegedly "heedless, wanton and oppressive conduct" of defendant insurer in failing to pay plaintiff's claim, and in striking the allegations of the complaint which support the claim for punitive damages. We think it did not.
