• 232 Conn. App. 604

Syllabus

The plaintiff, a retired firefighter who had been employed by the defendant town's fire department, appealed from the trial court's judgment for the defendant, rendered following its granting of the defendant's motion for summary judgment. The plaintiff claimed that the court improperly con- cluded that there was no genuine issue of material fact as to the plaintiff's breach of contract claim alleging that the defendant had breached the terms of a pension plan. Held: The trial court properly granted the defendant's motion for summary judg- ment, as there was no genuine issue of material fact that the plaintiff was not entitled to a disability retirement pension on the basis that he did not have certifications from at least three physicians that he was disabled so as to be permanently disqualified from service of all duties as a regular full- time firefighter, which was required by the plain and unambiguous language of the pension plan.
