1Opinion of the CourtHammer, J.
This negligence action was brought October 5, 1976 to recover damages for personal injuries sustained by the named plaintiff on October 11, 1975 when she allegedly slipped and fell as she was entering a store operated by the defendants. Her husband, Floyd Hull, sought to recover expenses incurred by him for his wife’s hospitalization and medical treatment. On February 21,1979 he moved to amend his complaint to add a claim for loss of consortium on the basis of the decision in Hopson v. St. Mary’s Hospital, 176 Conn. 485, which recognized such a right of action in favor of a spouse.
