AC45498 - International Assn. of EMTs & Paramedics, Local R1-701 v. Bristol Hospital EMS, LLC (“The defendant, Bristol Hospital EMS, LLC,
appeals from the judgment of the Superior Court granting the motion of the plaintiff, International Association
of EMTs and Paramedics, Local R1-701, to enforce a
prior judgment of the court confirming the arbitration
award to reinstate an employee of the defendant. The
defendant claims the court (1) lacked subject matter
jurisdiction to require that medical authorization be
given to the employee and (2) improperly awarded back
pay and attorney’s fees when those issues were not
properly before it. We agree and, accordingly, reverse
the judgment of the Superior Court.”)
