Supreme Court of Connecticut May 20, 1997, SC 15520 (Libby v. Goodwin Pontiac-GMC Truck, Inc.)

Opinion

BERDON, J.

The sole issue in this appeal is whether, under the workers’ compensation act (act), General Statutes § 31-275 et seq., the defendants1 were entitled to a credit against future workers’ compensation liability measured by the amount of a settlement that the plaintiff, David Libby, reached with respect to a personal injury claim against a third party tortfeasor.
