Supreme Court of Connecticut

Anthony Martinez v. City of New Haven — Eveleigh, J., Dissenting

January 30, 2018328 Conn. 1

Summary

Justice Eveleigh dissented, concluding that the trial court properly applied the imminent-harm exception to governmental immunity and reasonably found that a school supervisor had a duty to prevent foreseeable harm from student horseplay involving safety scissors. She would not disturb the trial court's factual findings because they were not clearly erroneous. The dissent would affirm the trial court's judgment for the plaintiff.
