Description
The workers compensation commissioner for the eighth district granted the plaintiffs motion to preclude defenses in this workers compensation case because the defendants did not file a disclaimer of liability in a timely manner. The compensation review board upheld the decision of the commissioner, and the defendants thereafter appealed to this court. To reach the merits of the issue on the appeal, which is whether the plaintiffs notice of claim satisfied General Statutes ร§ 31-294c (a) and (b), we must first determine if the appeal is taken from a final judgment. Stroiney v. Crescent Lake Tax District, 197 Conn. 82, 84, 495 A.2d 1063 (1985). The determination of whether a final judgment exists for the purpose of appellate review must be decided by this court even though it was not raised by the parties. State v. Curcio, 191 Conn. 27, 30, 463 A.2d 566 (1983). If there is no final judgment, we must dismiss the appeal. See General Statutes §§ 51-197a and 52-263; see also Practice Book ร§ 4000.
