In a case involving alleged tortious interference with the will of a Connecticut man, the state Supreme Court reversed the trial and appellate courts’ decisions to grant summary judgment to the defendants, and remanded the case to the Superior Court for a jury trial.
According to the Supreme Court’s decision, the Probate Court admitted Michael Solon’s will. Because the decedent’s will was admitted, the trial and appellate courts ruled that the man’s wife, Linda, could not pursue her civil tort action, the opinion said.
