Real Estate Firm Urges Denial of Verizon’s Motion to Dismiss Its Breach of Contract Suit

Plaintiff Cellular Solutions asks the U.S. District Court for Connecticut in New Haven to deny Verizon’s motion to dismiss its complaint (see 2306120032) because the lawsuit alleges “sufficient facts to support all required elements” of its claims for breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and unfair and deceptive acts and practices, said its opposition Friday (docket 3:23-cv-00659). Cellular Solutions is a real estate firm that services rooftop leases with wireless telecommunications carriers, and its complaint alleges Verizon owes landlord Maxwell Realty more than $64,000 in municipal taxes for the space it’s leasing for wireless telecom equipment on a property in Bridgeport. “When accepted as true, the allegations of the complaint are more than sufficient to clear the low hurdle required to survive a motion to dismiss,” said the opposition. The court “should draw reasonable factual inferences in favor of Cellular Solutions, not against it, as Verizon implicitly requests," it said.
