REFLEXITE CORPORATION’S
MOTION FOR EXPENSES
The previously named defendant, Reflexite Corporation ("Retlexite" or the
"Corporation"), hereby moves pursuant to Conn. Gen. Stat. § 33-726 for an order directing the
plaintiffs, H. Jonathan Frank and Frank Family 1996 Trust (hereinafter the "Plaintiffs” or the
“Franks"), to pay Reflexite’s expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred in defending the
ab0ve—captioned action.
The Franks’ claims against Reflexite, all of which were withdrawn by the Franks and/or
dismissed by the Court, were brought "without probable cause or for an improper pu1pose." The
Franks persisted with their claims despite being advised that the claims had no merit and the
Franks did not withdraw their claims until after Reflexite was forced to incur substantial legal
fees through needless litigation. Accordingly, Retlexite is statutorily entitled to reimbursement
