Supreme Court of Connecticut
Kosel Equity, LLC v. MacGregor
June 30, 2026
Summary
The court affirmed the trial court’s order allowing a municipal fair rent commission to intervene permissively in a landlord’s summary process action. It held that the fair rent proceedings and eviction action involved sufficiently overlapping issues and that governmental entities’ intervention rules should be liberally construed when litigation may affect the agency’s statutory authority. The court declined to decide whether ordinary standing requirements apply to permissive intervention because the commission satisfied any necessary standing requirement, and it lacked jurisdiction to address the unadjudicated dismissal and exhaustion issues.
