Western Dermatology Consultants, P.C. v. VitalWorks, Inc.

Summary

The Connecticut Supreme Court held that New Mexico law, rather than Connecticut's Unfair Trade Practices Act, governs the plaintiff's unfair trade practices claim arising from the sale and implementation of practice-management and electronic-medical-records software. Applying the most-significant-relationship test under the Restatement (Second) of Conflict of Laws, the court concluded that New Mexico had the greatest relationship to the parties and occurrence. The court remanded the case for a new trial applying New Mexico law.
