- Written by Rich Walter, JD
Facts
Cadle Company (Cadle) (plaintiff) sued Robert Errato (defendant) to collect on a promissory note that Errato had executed as security for a bank loan and on which Errato subsequently defaulted. Cadle’s trial evidence included (1) a bank officer’s testimony that the bank had sold and assigned its rights in the note to Cadle, (2) a Cadle manager’s testimony that Cadle held the original note at its out-of-state headquarters, (3) a copy of the sale-and-assignment agreement, and (4) a copy of the original note. The trial court entered judgment for Cadle. Errato appealed to the Connecticut Appellate Court, citing Cadle’s failure to produce the actual note.
