Supreme Court of Connecticut
Sena v. American Medical Response of Connecticut, Inc.
September 3, 2019333 Conn. 30
Summary
The court held that it had jurisdiction over the city's interlocutory appeal because the city's statutory-immunity claim was colorably based on sovereign immunity, which protects against both suit and liability. On the merits, the court held that the statutory immunity covered the city's storm-response and snow-removal activities, including decisions about road clearing and emergency dispatch, even though the activities occurred after the storm and the emergency declaration's end date was disputed. The court therefore reversed and directed entry of summary judgment for the city.
