Supreme Court of Connecticut
Kimberly Manginelli, Conservator (estate of Darlene Matejek) v. Regency House of Wallingford, Inc.…
August 8, 2023347 Conn. 581
Summary
The court held that Executive Order No. 7V does not limit immunity to claims involving the diagnosis or treatment of COVID-19 patients. Immunity under the order's lack-of-resources provision requires proof that a specific pandemic-related resource shortage caused the challenged acts or omissions, and the defendants failed to make that showing. The court therefore affirmed denial of the motion to dismiss because a material jurisdictional factual dispute remained.
