Glen W. Dowd, in opposition.
The defendants' cross petition for certification to appeal from the Appellate Court, 200 Conn. App. 205, 238 A.3d 763 (2020), is granted, limited to the following issues:
"1. Did the Appellate Court correctly conclude that § 3.4 of the limited liability company operating agreement imposes an affirmative duty on the managers to exercise ‘best judgment’ but does not impose an affirmative duty on the managers to act in ‘good faith’?
"2. If the answer to the first question is in the affirmative, did the Appellate Court correctly conclude that the trial court's instruction to the jury that § 3.4 of the agreement ‘prohibits actions that are taken in bad faith’ constituted harmless error?"
MULLINS, J., did not participate in the consideration of or decision on this petition.
