Supreme Court of Connecticut

Clark v. Waterford, Cohanzie Fire Dept.

June 20, 2023346 Conn. 711

Summary

The court held that the statutory definition of "member" excludes a person who customarily works fewer than twenty hours per week and governs eligibility for heart and hypertension benefits. Because the commissioner did not determine whether Clark met that hourly threshold before becoming a full-time firefighter, the court reversed the Appellate Court's judgment and ordered further fact-finding. No separate opinions were provided.
