Description
The named plaintiff, a twelve-year-old
boy, hereinafter referred to as the plaintiff,
brought this action by his mother and next friend
against the named defendant, Kohl and Madden
Printing Ink Company, hereinafter referred to as
Kohl & Madden, and against his father, the
defendant John H. Begley, individually and as the
agent, servant or employee of Kohl & Madden. The
plaintiff's mother, Mary M. Begley, sought in the
same action to recover for medical and hospital
expenses which she incurred on behalf of the boy.
The complaint recites personal injuries to the
plaintiff incurred on July 28, 1961, and seeks
recovery predicated on allegations of negligence
and reckless misconduct by the defendants. In
their answer, the defendants denied these
allegations and pleaded three special defenses. In
the first of these, the defendants alleged that
the plaintiff was the unemancipated son of the
defendant John H. Begley and had no cause of
action against his parent. In the second special
defense, the defendants alleged that, for the same
reason and on the ground of public policy, the
plaintiff Mary Begley had no cause of action for
the medical and hospital expenses alleged in the
[157 Conn. 447]
complaint. In the third special defense, the
defendants alleged that the plaintiff was
chargeable with contributory negligence. The trial
court directed a verdict in favor of the defendant
Begley on the cause of action of the minor
plaintiff and the plaintiff Mary Begley on the
ground of parental immunity. The jury returned a
general verdict in favor of the defendant Kohl
Madden, and the plaintiffs have appealed.
