Opinion

WEST, J. Patrick Foltz, owner of Port City Taxi, appeals from the decision of the trial court denying his motion to open and set aside the judgment and his motion to dismiss the court's ruling to reverse the decision of the department of transportation (department) granting his application to operate two additional taxicabs in Groton, Montville, New London and Waterford.1 On appeal, Foltz claims that the court improperly denied each motion because (1) he was a necessary party in the administrative appeal of the department's decision, and, as result of not being named as a defendant, the court lacked personal jurisdiction to render a decision in that appeal, and (2) the lack of service pursuant to General Statutes
