Supreme Court of Connecticut

Winston Morgan, Administrators (Estate of Una B. Morgan) v. Hartford Hospital

July 12, 2011301 Conn. 388

Summary

The court held that a defendant's challenge to the sufficiency of a medical-malpractice opinion letter attached to a complaint is a challenge to personal jurisdiction, insufficiency of process, or insufficiency of service of process. Because the defendants waited more than nineteen months and filed other pleadings before moving to dismiss, they waived the challenge under the applicable time and sequencing rules. The judgment dismissing the complaint was therefore reversed and the case remanded for further proceedings.
