Amore v. Frankel

I agree with the opinion of the Appellate Court1 that the trial court should have denied the motion to dismiss. Within the broad allegations of the complaint, the plaintiff Alan Amore alleged a cause of action under General Statutes § 13a-144, which permits a suit for damages resulting from a defective highway that the defendant commissioner of transportation has a duty to maintain. General Statutes § 13b-30 extends the commissioner’s duty to maintain “the roads and drives on the grounds of state institutions,” including those of the University of Connecticut, upon request by the institution.
