Dean v. Jepsen Update

This comes from a Jepsen press release:

HARTFORD – George Jepsen, Democratic candidate for Attorney General, said he is confident the state election for attorney general will move forward as scheduled Nov. 2 with his name firmly on the ballot, despite the “desperate” lawsuit filed by his Republican opponent Martha Dean.

Lawyers representing both sides as well as the Secretary of the State’s Office and the Democratic State Central Committee of Connecticut, met with Superior Court Judge Julia Aurigemma Wednesday to discuss the significant legal and jurisdictional flaws in the complaint.

Judge Aurigemma asked the parties to submit briefs by 2 p.m. Thursday on legal issues – such as whether Dean even has the legal right to bring the lawsuit and whether Dean failed to include essential parties to the case.  A hearing on legal issues only is scheduled Friday at 10 a.m.   Cameras will be permitted in the courtroom.

Both sides have said they will appeal any adverse ruling. That would put any final disposition of the case well beyond Nov. 2.
