Companions & Homemakers, Inc. v. A&B Homecare Solutions, LLC

Summary

The court affirmed a bench-trial judgment imposing liability for tortious interference with the plaintiff’s provider enrollment agreement and for a CUTPA violation. It held that the defendant’s affirmative misrepresentations, rather than any mere nondisclosure, supported tortious-interference liability, and that sufficient evidence connected the misrepresentations to the termination of the enrollment agreement and the plaintiff’s lost profits. The court declined to decide whether interference with employee noncompete agreements was independently established because any error on that issue was harmless. No separate opinions were issued.
