Michaud v. Travel Indemnity Co.

Syllabus

The plaintiff appealed from the decision of the trial court denying her application to vacate an arbitration award granting the defendant's motion for summary judgment and dismissing her complaint alleging age discrimina- tion with prejudice. Following the commencement of the civil action against the defendant, the parties, by agreement, proceeded to arbitration on all claims in the complaint. The plaintiff claimed that the court improperly failed to vacate the award because the arbitrator manifestly disregarded the law. Held: This court dismissed the appeal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, as the plaintiff did not have a statutory right to appeal from the trial court's denial of her application to vacate the award and the trial court's denial did not implicate either of the two prongs set forth in State v. Curcio (191 Conn. 27). Argued October 7, 2024—officially released May 6, 2025
