The Supreme Court affirmed the trial court’s decision striking the contract claim on the basis of the principle that “[a] plaintiff may not convert that liability into one sounding in contract merely by talismanically invoking contract language in his complaint. . . . [P]utting a contract tag on a tort claim will not change its essential character.” (Citations omitted; internal quotation marks omitted.) Id., 262-63.
