Supreme Court of Connecticut February 4, 2003, SC 16608 (Craig v. Driscoll)

SULLIVAN, C. J., with whom ZARELLA, J.,

joins, dissenting. Today the majority both overrules a case directly on point that properly had concluded that the Dram Shop Act (act) preempts the common law, and overrules more than 100 years of common-law precedent in creating a new cause of action for the negligent sale of alcohol.
