Supreme Court of Connecticut
Garcia v. Cohen
March 17, 2020335 Conn. 3
Summary
The court held that the general verdict rule did not prevent appellate review of the plaintiff's instructional-error claim because she proposed properly framed interrogatories, objected to their rejection, and showed that the requested nondelegable-duty instruction was intertwined with both liability and contributory negligence. The court also held that she was not required to raise a separate appellate claim challenging the refusal to submit the interrogatories. The judgment was reversed and the case remanded for review of the instructional claim.
