Charitable Immunity
The Connecticut Legislature abolished the common-law defense of charitable immunity by statute in 1967. Conn. Gen. Stat. § 52-557d provides: “The common law defense of charitable immunity is abolished and shall not constitute a valid defense to any cause of action.”
Falling Merchandise
Cases involving injuries caused by falling objects were once a quiet backwater of premises liability law. Most cases involved objects such as dropped tools on construction sites, or natural causes, such as rotten tree limbs.
