Opinion

ROGERS, C. J. This appeal addresses issues arising from a trial court's determination of probable cause in granting a prejudgment remedy. The defendant, Richard Feldman, appeals from the trial court's order granting a prejudgment remedy in favor of the plaintiff, TES Franchising, LLC, upon a finding of probable cause that the defendant had breached a settlement agreement by disclosing confidential information and making disparaging remarks about the plaintiff. On appeal, the defendant claims that the trial court, Lopez, J., improperly: (1) granted the prejudgment remedy because the trial court's memorandum of decision does not address adequately the defendant's defenses and counterclaims as required by General Statutes
