The Connecticut Supreme Court has ruled that state Attorney General Richard Blumenthal cannot make public the confidential business documents he obtains through a subpoena, siding with a Florida insurance company that sued to prevent disclosure of the information.
The justices Monday agreed with Brown & Brown Insurance Inc. of Tampa and Daytona Beach, Fla., in a case that stemmed from Blumenthal’s investigation of the insurance industry.
Brown & Brown provided documents but then sued when Blumenthal did not assure the company that the information would be confidential.
Blumenthal and a spokesman for Brown & Brown did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
