Opinion

PER CURIAM.

*466 The defendant, Barcol-Air, Ltd., appeals from the judgment of the trial court granting the application for a prejudgment remedy filed by the plaintiff, Hadco Metal Trading Co., LLC, in the amount of $250,000. The defendant claims that the court improperly concluded that the purchase orders contained all of the relevant *774 terms of the parties' agreement and that the defendant breached that agreement. Specifically, the defendant's only claim on appeal is that the court should have considered certain provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), as codified in General Statutes §§ 42a-2-101 et seq., in interpreting the terms of the underlying agreement between the parties.

The defendant, however, did not raise or cite the applicability of the UCC provisions to the trial court, *467 and, thus, this issue is not properly preserved for appellate review. 1 See Connecticut Bank & Trust Co. v. Munsill-Borden Mansion, LLC, 147 Conn.App. 30 , 38-39, 81 A.3d 266 (2013). Accordingly, we decline to review the defendant's claim and affirm the judgment of the court granting the application for a prejudgment remedy.

The judgment is affirmed.

1 The plaintiff raised the preservation problem in its appellate brief, and the defendant failed to adequately respond to that argument in its reply brief. Further, at oral argument before this court, the defendant conceded that it had never brought to the trial court's attention the particular provisions of the UCC that it now relies upon to support its on appeal.
