Does a state official have immunity from prosecution for health and social services malpractice?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from State Police Litigation, In re, 88 F.3d 111 (2nd Cir. 1996):
Under Connecticut law, state officials do not have immunity for such violations if, inter alia, their actions were likely to subject an identifiable person to imminent harm or if their alleged misconduct involved malice, wantonness, or the intent to injure. See Evon v. Andrews, 211 Conn. at 505, 559 A.2d at 1134. The district court ruled that there were factual questions to be tried as to these immunity issues. That ruling is not appealable.
