*312In its memorandum of decision, the court found “no merit to the plaintiffs’ claim” sounding in statutory theft. The court, accordingly, did not award the plaintiffs damages of any kind for this claim. The plaintiffs argue that the facts of the present case support a finding of statutory theft and, therefore, the court erred in failing to award them treble damages allowed by § 52-564 in cases of statutory theft. The plaintiffs, on appeal, however, challenge the court’s failure to award damages, not the propriety of its finding that the evidence presented did not support the conclusion that the defendants had committed statutory theft. Accordingly, we address only, upon the court’s finding that the plaintiffs’ claim of statutory theft was meritless, whether the court was correct in declining to award treble damages. We conclude that in light of such a finding, the court’s declining to award treble damages was entirely proper. Ill PUNITIVE DAMAGES PURSUANT TO CUTPA
