HICKOCK REALTY CORPORATION (AC 19578)
Landau, Spear and Daly, Js. Argued October 26--officially released December 26, 2000 Counsel

Kevin F. Nelligan, for the appellant (plaintiff). J. Michael Sconyers, for the appellee (defendant).
Opinion

LANDAU, J. The plaintiff, Alice Raynor, appeals from the trial court's judgment rendered upon the granting of the motion for summary judgment filed by the defendant, Hickock Realty Corporation, because the plaintiff did not commence her personal injury action before the applicable statute of limitations expired. On appeal, the plaintiff claims that the court improperly concluded that (1) she failed to commence her action within the time permitted by the applicable statute of limitations and (2) the statute of limitations was not tolled when the defendant was served with prejudgment remedy documents.1 We disagree and affirm the judgment of the trial court.

The applicable facts and procedural history of the action are undisputed. The plaintiff alleged that she was injured when she fell on June 19, 1995, on premises in Salisbury that she leased from the defendant. She first sought a prejudgment remedy by way of attachment of the defendant's real property, utilizing an order of notice permitting out of state service by mail. See General Statutes
