Andrew J. Cappello v. Bryan M. Mucke et al., 2012 Conn. Super. LEXIS 274


Summary

A motion to dismiss a personal injury action against the local chapter of a fraternity after a hazing incident for lack of personal jurisdiction was denied. Although the chapter's charter was later suspended, it was a functioning voluntary association at the time of the incident, and it could not escape liability by dissolving before proper service under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 52-57(e) could be effectuated. The last known president of the chapter was properly served at his usual place of abode.
