Anthony Furs v. Superior Court, Judicial District of Waterbury

Summary

The court granted the writ of error and reversed the plaintiff's criminal contempt conviction. It concluded that the statutory immunity procedure required transactional as well as use and derivative-use immunity, so the plaintiff could not be compelled to testify under the limited immunity order issued here. The court declined to consider the state's newly raised inherent-authority argument because doing so would prejudice the plaintiff.
