“It is undisputed that, before trial, [a] court properly [may bifurcate] the liability and damages phases of [a] trial and [allow] the introduction of new evidence and new arguments in the damages phase. . . . When neither party has reason to believe that the trial has been bifurcated, however, the only function of a posttrial damages hearing would be to allow the party claiming damages a second bite at the apple.” (Citation omitted.) Lydall, Inc. v. Ruschmeyer, 282 Conn. 209, 253, 919 A.2d 421 (2007).
