Goddard v. APG Security-RI, LLC
Annotate this CasePlaintiff filed a complaint against APG Security-RI, LLC (APG) and employees/agents of APG (collectively, Defendants) alleging that when she was employed as a security guard by APG, Defendants violated the employer drug testing statute (EDTS) by requiring her to submit to a drug test and subsequently terminating her employment based on the result of that test. Plaintiff sought damages pursuant to both the EDTS and Conn. Gen. Stat. 9-1-2. The hearing justice dismissed Plaintiff’s complaint, finding that the three-year statute of limitations in Conn. Gen. Stat. 9-1-14(b) governed Plaintiff’s cause of action. At issue on appeal was whether the ten-year period of limitation as provided in Conn. Gen. Stat. 9-1-13(a) or the three-year period of limitation as provided in section 9-1-14(b) applied to Plaintiff’s action. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that actions brought pursuant to the EDTS and section 9-1-2 are subject to the three-year statute of limitations provided in section 9-1-14(b).
