Supreme Court of Connecticut
Arras v. Regional School District No. 14
October 20, 2015
Summary
The court affirmed summary judgment for the defendants in a challenge to a referendum approving school construction bonds. It held that failure to publish the statutorily required referendum warning does not automatically invalidate the result; invalidation requires substantial statutory violations that seriously undermine the reliability of the vote. Because the plaintiffs presented no evidence that the lack of formal publication affected the result, summary judgment was proper.
