Supreme Court of Connecticut, 1969

St. Pierre v. St. Pierre

St. Pierre v. St. Pierre
Supreme Court of Connecticut · Decided October 28, 1969
158 Conn. 620; 262 A.2d 185

St. Pierre v. St. Pierre

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Upon the authority of Landers v. Landers, 153 Conn. 303, 216 A.2d 183, the court sustained a demurrer to the complaint. On this appeal, the sole assignment of error is addressed to this ruling. The basic claim of the plaintiff is that we should reexamine the holding of the Landers case and change our rule that the substantive internal law of the situs of a tort determines the capacity to sue as it may be affected by the marriage relationship. We see no reason to change our rule as enunciated in that case.

There is no error.
