             Additionally, we note that, ‘‘[w]hen a . . . court
          decides a jurisdictional question raised by a pretrial
          motion to dismiss, it must consider the allegations of
          the complaint in their most favorable light. . . . In this
          regard, a court must take the facts to be those alleged in
          the complaint, including those facts necessarily implied
          from the allegations, construing them in a manner most
          favorable to the pleader. . . . The motion to dismiss
          . . . admits all facts which are well pleaded, invokes
          the existing record and must be decided upon that
          alone. . . . In undertaking this review, we are mindful
          of the well established notion that, in determining
          whether a court has subject matter jurisdiction, every
          presumption favoring jurisdiction should be indulged.’’

             Next, we briefly summarize the principles relating to
          a summary process action. ‘‘[S]ummary process is a
          special statutory procedure designed to provide an
          expeditious remedy. . . . It enable[s] landlords to
          obtain possession of leased premises without suffering
          the delay, loss and expense to which, under the com-
          mon-law actions, they might be subjected by tenants
          wrongfully holding over their terms. . . . Summary
          process statutes secure a prompt hearing and final
          determination. . . . Therefore, the statutes relating to
          summary process must be narrowly construed and
          strictly followed.’’ (Internal quotation marks omitted.)
