We note that even if the plaintiff had provided adequate evidence relating these claimed fees to the conduct of the city, it is an open question whether the referee would have been empowered under the statutory scheme to award monetary damages. Following a finding of discriminatory conduct, the human rights referee must fashion a remedy pursuant to General Statutes § 46a-86. Our Supreme Court, however, ruled in an employment discrimination case that § 46a-86 does not empower the referee to award compensatory damages or attorney’s fees to remedy a violation of § 46a-60, which was the sole statutory basis of the plaintiffs claim in the case at hand.
