Larobina v. Kadar, No. Cv970162236s (Aug. 8, 2001)

Court Rules Against Worker in Eviction Dispute

This case involved a dispute between a tenant named Larobina and Deputy Sheriff Ronald Kadar over how an eviction was carried out. Larobina was evicted from their home and claimed that Deputy Sheriff Kadar wrongfully seized their belongings and handled the eviction improperly. Larobina sued Kadar for wrongful actions, claiming the deputy sheriff was negligent and misrepresented facts during the eviction process.

The court ruled in favor of Deputy Sheriff Kadar, finding that he followed proper legal procedures when carrying out the eviction. The court determined that Kadar's actions were lawful and appropriate under Connecticut law, particularly noting that the law had changed as of October 1, 1997. All of Larobina's claims were dismissed, and no damages were awarded.

What this means for workers: This case shows that government officials like deputy sheriffs generally have legal protection when they follow proper procedures in carrying out their official duties. If you face an eviction, it's important to understand that the officers executing the eviction are typically protected by law as long as they follow established legal processes, even if you disagree with the outcome.
