Supreme Court of Connecticut
Plato Associates, LLC v. Environmental Compliance Services, Inc.
November 9, 2010298 Conn. 852
Summary
The court held that the seven-year limitation period for claims against professional engineers involving deficiencies in the planning, design, or construction of improvements to real property potentially applies to the plaintiff’s contract and negligence claims. Because the record presented genuine issues concerning whether the defendants provided professional engineering services, whether those services related to planning improvements, and whether the monitoring wells were improvements, the defendants failed to establish entitlement to summary judgment on timeliness grounds. The judgment was reversed and the case remanded for further proceedings.
