Employment Law Appellate Court Opinion

by Carey, Sean

 

AC46461 - Long v. Putnam (“The plaintiff, Cassie Long, appeals from the summary judgment rendered by the trial court in favor of the defendant, the town of Putnam, on her complaint sounding in pregnancy and gender discrimination in violation of the Connecticut Fair Employment Practices Act (act), General Statutes § 46a-51 et seq. On appeal, the plaintiff claims that the court incorrectly determined that there were no genuine issues of material fact as to each of her claims. Because we agree that there are genuine issues of material fact as to the plaintiff’s claim of pregnancy discrimination, we reverse the judgment of the court as to that claim. We decline to reach the merits of the plaintiff’s claim that the court improperly rendered summary judgment on her gender discrimination claim as the claim was inadequately briefed. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the court with respect to her gender discrimination claim.”)
