56 Conn. App. 701, 708, 746 A.2d 184, cert. denied, 252 Conn. 953, 749 A.2d 1202 (2000). On appeal, the plaintiff argues that the evidence demonstrated that “the defendant knew . . . that an eviction action would ... be emotionally injurious to anyone . . . [that] outrageousness is demonstrated ... by [the defendant’s] constant violations of state law . . . [and that] the severity of the emotional stress and suffering of the [plaintiff] is clear from the testimony.” Additionally, she argues that her pleadings as to these counts also were sufficient. In directing a verdict on these counts, the court concluded that the evidence was insufficient to prove that the defendant *161 intended to cause emotional injury to the plaintiff. 11
