Supreme Court of Connecticut
In re Criminal Complaint & Application for Arrest Warrant
October 3, 2024350 Conn. 633
Summary
The court held that electors seeking review of a denied arrest-warrant application under § 9-368 need not establish statutory aggrievement because a writ of error is rooted in the common law and does not require an express statutory authorization. The writ was nevertheless dismissed because the electors lacked a specific, personal, and legal interest in the arrest or prosecution of other persons and therefore were not classically aggrieved. Justice Ecker, concurring in the judgment, would dismiss on the ground that a direct appeal, rather than a writ of error, was the proper procedural vehicle.
