D & L Tractor Trailer School (Hostile Work Environment, Vexatious Litigation, Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress; Attorney’s Fees. “The plaintiff claims that the court (1) abused its discretion with respect to several evidentiary rulings, (2) improperly permitted the defendant’s counterclaim to go to the jury and (3) improperly calculated the attorney’s fees it awarded her. In his cross appeal, the defendant claims that the court improperly (1) denied his motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict and (2) awarded the plaintiff attorney’s fees.”)

AC29830 - State v. Connecticut State Employees Assn., SEIU Local 2001 (“The plaintiff, the state of Connecticut, appeals from the trial court’s judgment denying its application to vacate an arbitration award and granting the motion to confirm the award filed by the defendant, the Connecticut State Employees Association, SEIU Local 2001. On appeal, the plaintiff claims that the court improperly concluded that the arbitrator did not exceed or imperfectly execute his powers pursuant to General Statutes § 52-418 (a) (4). We are unable to evaluate the plaintiff’s claim because we conclude that the arbitrator’s award is ambiguous.”)
