Killian v. Bolster
Supreme Court of Connecticut
Action to recover damages for an assault and battery, brought to and tried by the Court of Common Pleas in Fairfield County, Walsh, J.; facts found and judgment rendered for the plaintiff for $200, from which he appealed.
1Per curiam
One of the reasons of appeal is that “the court erred in failing to allow the plaintiff exemplary damages.” Concerning this, it is enough to say that the plaintiff did not allege in his complaint any wanton or malicious misconduct of the defendant, or negligence tantamount to such misconduct. Further, no facts have been found from which could be reached a reasonable conclusion that the acts of the defendant were of such a kind. Keane v. Main, 83 Conn. 200, 76 Atl. 269; Maisenbacker v. Society Concordia, 71 Conn, 369, 42 Atl. 67. There is no basis for a claim for exemplary damages.
