The motion to strike count three is denied. A challenge to the legal sufficiency of a complaint, through a motion to strike, must be pleaded and ruled on before the defendant files on answer to the plaintiff's complaint. Burke v. Avitabile,32 Conn. App. 765, 769, 630 A.2d 624 (1993); Practice Book § 112. The defendant filed an answer and special defenses on January 22, 1997.
