MEMORANDUM OF DECISIONRE: DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO STRIKE
The court grants defendant Danbury Board of Education's motion to strike the third, sixth and seventh counts of the complaint on the grounds that plaintiff has failed to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. Specifically, the court finds that § 10-235 of the Connecticut General Statutes does not provide an injured plaintiff with a direct cause of action.
The court recognizes that there is a split of authority regarding this issue. This court is persuaded, however, by the greater weight of authority and reasoning contained in cases denying a direct cause of action for indemnification by an injured plaintiff under General Statutes § 10-235.
