HARTFORD – The Archdiocese of Hartford is asking the state Supreme Court to overturn a $1 million verdict for a man who claimed he was abused by a Roman Catholic priest at a Derby school in the early 1980s.
Among other claims, the archdiocese contends the law that extended the statute of limitations for such lawsuits is unconstitutional.
A hearing on the case has been scheduled for Sept. 22.
“I don’t think any of the issues they have raised have any merit but this is no surprise,” said New Haven lawyer Thomas McNamara, who represented the complainant in the case.
