Kovachich v. Dept. of Mental Health & Addiction Services

Summary

The court reversed the Appellate Court's judgment and held that communications concerning proposed workplace accommodations were admissible for the limited purpose of showing participation in, or failure to participate in, the good-faith interactive process required by CFEPA. It further held that the other evidentiary errors identified below were harmless because the excluded and improperly admitted evidence did not affect the outcome in light of the trial record. The case was remanded for consideration of the defendant's remaining claims and the attorney's-fee issue.
