Peter Benedict v. Town of Norfolk

Summary

The court held that the identifiable person, imminent harm exception to governmental immunity for discretionary acts may apply in an action brought directly against a municipality under General Statutes § 52-557n (a) (1) (A), even when no municipal employee is named as a defendant. Because the trial court concluded categorically that the exception could not apply to the municipality, the court reversed and remanded without deciding whether the plaintiff's allegations ultimately satisfy the exception or whether the snow-removal conduct was discretionary. No separate opinions were filed.
