Supreme Court of Connecticut

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

October 10, 2023348 Conn. 132

Summary

The court affirmed the judgment holding that A&B tortiously interfered with Companions’ provider enrollment agreement through knowingly false representations about A&B’s ability to use the electronic billing system and its intentions regarding Companions’ clients. The court concluded that sufficient evidence supported causation and the award of lost-profit damages, and that the resulting tortious interference also violated CUTPA. The court did not decide the alleged interference with employee noncompete agreements because any error was harmless, and the damages and fee awards were independently supported by the provider-agreement claim.
