                                      Michel v. Hartford
             b. The trial court erroneously concluded that the plaintiff was required
             to plead that his speech did not substantially or materially interfere with
             his job performance or the working relationship between him and his
             employer pursuant to § 31-51q; although the issue of whether a plaintiff
             making a § 31-51q claim must affirmatively plead noninterference was
             an open question that neither this court nor the Supreme Court had
             previously addressed, this court concluded that a plaintiff making a
             claim pursuant to § 31-51q does not have an affirmative burden to plead
             noninterference but, rather, a defendant may raise the issue of interfer-
             ence in a special defense. Argued October 11, 2023—officially released June 11, 2024 Procedural History
