188 A.2d 355 | Conn. Super. Ct. | 1963
The plaintiff alleges that she was employed at the East Windsor Drive-In Theatre as a ticket seller behind a ticket booth and that the defendant, owner and operator of a Plymouth car, struck the booth, injuring her.
Plaintiff sought to obtain jurisdiction by service on the defendant through the motor vehicle commissioner under §
It has been construed that such substituted or constructive service in the case of a nonresident motorist upon the commissioner of motor vehicles in an action for negligent operation of an automobile (§
Nowhere does the plaintiff allege that the motor vehicle was being operated on a public highway when the alleged negligence occurred, so the service upon the defendant in the instant case is invalid as the pleadings now stand.
The demurrer to the plea in abatement is overruled.
