Raspberry Junction Holding, LLC v. Southeastern Connecticut Water Authority

Summary

The court affirmed summary judgment for the municipal water authority because the hotel’s lost revenue from an extended water-service interruption was foreseeable but did not give rise to a legal duty of care. Applying the duty analysis for purely economic losses, the court concluded that all four public-policy factors weighed against imposing negligence liability. The court treated the claim as governed by ordinary duty principles rather than a categorical economic-loss bar.
