2,688 charsplaints of discriminatory practices. Perhaps most signif-
icant, the commission’s presiding officer is charged
with making a finding that the discriminatory practice
alleged has occurred and with supporting that determi-
nation by written findings of fact. See General Statutes
§ 46a-86 (a).
Finally, with regard to remedies, General Statutes
(Supp. 2012) § 46a-86 (c) provides in relevant part that,
‘‘[i]n addition to any other action taken under this sec-
tion, upon a finding of a discriminatory practice prohib-
ited by section 46a-58 . . . the presiding officer shall
determine the damage suffered by the complainant . . .
as a result of such discriminatory practice and shall
allow reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. . . .’’ The
statutory scheme, then, plainly envisions that the com-
mission is competent to determine whether federal anti-
discrimination laws, such as Title VII, that come within
the scope of § 46a-58 (a) have been violated and is
authorized to award damages and attorney’s fees for
those violations under § 46a-86 (c).
Nor is there any question that a violation of Title VII
as a factual predicate of a § 46a-58 (a) violation was
established in the present case. In addition to violations
of Connecticut’s employment discrimination statute,
§ 46a-60, the complainant alleged in her complaint that
the branch discriminated against her on the basis of
sex and subjected her to an ongoing hostile work envi-
ronment, in violation of ‘‘Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964 . . . as amended and enforced under [§]
46a-58 (a) . . . .’’ Relying on Pik-Kwik Stores, Inc. v.
Commission on Human Rights & Opportunities, 170
Conn. 327, 331, 365 A.2d 1210 (1976), and its progeny,
the referee treated federal and state antidiscrimination
law as largely ‘‘coextensive,’’10 and she proceeded on
10
Although the referee observed in passing that § 46a-60 is ‘‘undoubtedly
more expansive than Title VII’’; (internal quotation marks omitted); her
citation to Patino v. Birken Mfg. Co., 304 Conn. 679, 693, 41 A.3d 1013
(2012), for that proposition indicates that she understood the state law to
afford broader protection only with respect to which classes are protected.
