193 Conn. 589 (1984)

JENNIE M. RYSZKIEWICZ v. CITY OF NEW BRITAIN

Supreme Court of Connecticut.

Decision released July 10, 1984.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Dennis L. Kern, with whom was James F. Kane, for the appellant (plaintiff).

Edward T. Lynch, Jr., corporation counsel, with whom were Seth Feigenbaum, assistant city attorney, and on the brief, Anita D. Cobb, assistant corporation counsel, for the appellee (defendant).

SPEZIALE, C. J., PETERS, HEALEY, PARSKEY and SHEA, JS.

SPEZIALE, C. J.

The dispositive issue in this appeal concerns the constitutionality of a special act of the Connecticut General Assembly. That special act, adopting the charter of the city of New Britain, inter alia, limits the city's liability for damages caused by ice or snow on the city's highways to $1000. We hold that that limitation violates the equal protection guarantees of the United States and Connecticut constitutions.
