Facts

P was a passenger in a State of Connecticut bus when it was bumped slightly by a car driven by D. The car was owned by the second named defendant Ocean Service, doing business as Highway Service of Connecticut, Inc. P moved for summary judgment as to liability only. D admitted one of the specifications of negligence in paragraph 6--failure to keep a proper lookout. The court considered the motion and granted it on February 3, 1997. The matter was then placed on the 'hearing in damages' list, and later the parties stipulated to a trial to the court instead of to a jury. At trial, the court concluded that P was not injured as a result of the collision.
