Mueller v. Tepler

Supreme Court of Connecticut · 2012-03-21 · cited 3×

This case concerns a claim for loss of consortium damages by Charlotte Stacey, the domestic partner of Margaret Mueller, who allegedly suffered injury from medical negligence by the defendants. The trial court struck the claim, and the Appellate Court affirmed that ruling. The Connecticut Supreme Court granted the plaintiff's petition for certification to appeal, limited to two issues: whether the Appellate Court properly affirmed on grounds different from those relied on by the trial court, and whether Stacey could recover loss of consortium damages given that she was not married to her partner at the time of the injury because same-sex marriage and civil unions were not legally recognized then.

No decision was made on the underlying claims, and one justice did not participate.

State v. Allan

Supreme Court of Connecticut · 2011-11-01 · cited 7×

This case concerns a criminal prosecution in which defendant Nemiah Allan challenged his conviction for conspiracy to sell drugs, arguing for recognition of a buyer-seller exception that would preclude liability when a transaction involves only a single sale between two parties. The Appellate Court declined to adopt that exception. The Connecticut Supreme Court granted the defendant's petition for certification to appeal, but limited review to the narrow question of whether the Appellate Court correctly refused to adopt the buyer-seller exception to a charge of conspiracy to sell drugs.
