Case: Disability Discrimination/Failure to Accommodate (D. Conn.)

A federal district court partially denied summary judgment to the City of Hartford on the Americans with Disabilities Act and Connecticut law failure to accommodate, disability discrimination and retaliation claims of a former auditor suffering from anxiety attacks, where genuine material factual disputes exist whether he could perform essential job functions—given he did so remotely during the Covid-19 pandemic—and the city instructed him to continue remote work after his accommodation request.
