Pedestrian filed suit against owners of property that abutted public sidewalk for injuries sustained in slip and fall on snow and ice that had accumulated on sidewalk. The trial court entered summary judgment for owners, and pedestrian appealed.
The Supreme Court of Connecticut held that town ordinance imposing fines on owners of property abutting public sidewalks for failure to keep sidewalk clear of ice and snow did not transfer town’s civil liability for pedestrian’s injuries to landowners.
