INFERRED FROM ORIGINAL MANIFESTATION IN LIGHT OF SUBSEQUENT EVENTS § 106. Accomplishment of Authorized Act Conn.2025. Cit. in diss. op. Homeowners who discovered that their homeowners' insurance policy had not been renewed shortly after their home had been destroyed in an accidental fire sued insurance broker and brokerage firm, alleging that defendants negligently failed to inform plaintiffs that their insurer had declined to renew their homeowners' insurance policy. The trial court granted defendants' motion for summary judgment, finding that, under Connecticut law, insurance agents owed no continuing legal duty to their clients after the procurement of insurance coverage. The court of appeals affirmed. This court affirmed, holding that there were no exceptional circumstances that would impose a duty on defendants to inform plaintiffs that the insurer was not renewing plaintiffs' policy. The dissent argued that the majority adhered to an outdated, bright-line rule set forth in Restatement of Agency § 106, and that Connecticut should instead follow the modem, fact-driven approach set forth in Restatement Third of Agency § 8.11 in determining when an agency relationship terminated and the scope of the relationship.
