Gen. Stat. § 42-110a et seq., and Connecticut’s Notary Public statute, Conn. Gen. Stat. § 3-94l, common law recklessness, intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligent infliction of emotional distress. The Appellate Court held that the Superior Court properly granted summary judgment to the Defendants on these claims, brought in the context of an alleged wrongful interment of one of the Plaintiffs’ elderly family members. During litigation in the trial court, Plaintiffs demanded a settlement in the millions of dollars. Following the granting of summary judgment on most counts in our favor, and trial on the remaining counts, Plaintiffs reduced their demand to $100,000.00. The Appellate Court’s decision has the effect of affirming the jury’s award, reduced by collateral sources to $9,005.
