Flannery v. Singer Asset Finance Co., LLC

Summary

This dissent would reverse the judgment affirming summary judgment for the defendant on the plaintiff's aiding-and-abetting and CUTPA claims. It concludes that the record created genuine issues of material fact regarding whether the defendant aided an attorney's continuing breach of fiduciary duty and whether the continuing course of conduct doctrine tolled the applicable limitation periods. It also concludes that the continuing course of conduct doctrine may apply to CUTPA claims and was not categorically foreclosed by the precedent relied upon below. Justice Norcott, joined by Justices Eveleigh and Espinosa, dissented from the majority's contrary conclusions.
