Ravenswood Appeals Superior Court Verdict In Merritt Case

HARTFORD–Ravenswood Construction LLC of Cheshire filed Sept. 7, 2005, a motion to appeal the verdict of a New London Superior Court jury that dismissed Ravenswood’s suit to force the Merritt family to sell a 75-acre parcel atop Fort Hill in Groton to the construction company, rather than GOSA.

The motion was filed 20 days after Superior Court Judge Seymour Hendel had denied Ravenswood’s motion to have the jury verdict, arrived at May 18, 2005, set aside.
