Dugan v. City of Burlington
Supreme Court of Vermont
Decided June 7, 1977No. 240-76PublishedCited by 10 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtDaley, J.
The plaintiff Edward Dugan allegedly suffered bodily injury when, as he was walking along a street in the City of Burlington, he fell into a partially uncovered catch-basin. In a complaint filed in the Chittenden Superior Court, he alleged that the injuries he sustained were due to the negligence of the city in designing and maintaining the catch-basin and grate. He presently appeals from the superior court’s order, based on the doctrine of sovereign immunity, granting the defendant City of Burlington’s motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted.
