Although some CUTPA cases might exist where “there may be some evidence that is collateral or irrelevant to the merits of a claim of CUTPA violation or proof of damages . . . [they nonetheless] may be relevant to proving whether punitive damages are warranted. ” Jacques All Trades Corp. v. Brown, 42 Conn. App. 124, 131-32, 679 A.2d 27 (1996), aff'd, 240 Conn. 654, 692 A.2d 809 (1997). This is not such a case. In fact, both parties had the opportunity at trial, of which they took advantage, to present evidence and argument on the issue of punitive damages. Moreover, neither the parties nor the court reserved presentation on such issue until a subsequent hearing.
