Judge Fitzsimmons Enters $13.5 Million Judgment Against Connecticut Town
After 10 years of litigation in our District -- which included 2 several-week jury trials and a set-aside verdict by the Court -- Judge Holly B. Fitzsimmons, who sits in Bridgeport, has entered a $13.5 million judgment against the Town of Montville and in favor of Rand-Whitney Containerboard, after Rand-Whitney proved to a jury that the water sent to it by the town was of such poor quality that it violated the company's contract with the town. The judgment includes $10 million in damages and approximately $3.5 million in attorneys' fees and costs.
For more information, see the article that appeared in the New London Day this week.

It is also worth noting that Judge Fitzsimmons isn't the only Judge in our District who has worked hard on this case. Judge William I. Garfinkel has spent a significant amount of time working with the parties on a settlement that will allows them to coexist peacefully in the Town of Montville.
