“Article first, § 19, of the constitution of Connecticut, as amended by article four of the amendments, provides in relevant part: The right of trial by jury shall remain inviolate .... The provision guarantees the right to a jury trial in all cases for which such a right existed at the time of the adoption of that constitutional provision in 1818. . . . The fundamental right to a jury trial, however, is subject to certain limitations. . . . One limitation is that the right does not extend to equitable claims.” (Citations omitted; internal quotation marks omitted.) Ackerman v. Sobol Family Partnership, LLP, 298 Conn. 495, 532, 4 A.3d 288 (2010).
