Conn. Civ. Jury Instr. 3.9-15
Notice of Specific Defect
The notice to the defendant must be of the specific defect or unsafe condition that the plaintiff
claims caused the injury. It is not enough that the plaintiff prove the existence of certain
conditions that would likely produce such a defect, even if such conditions did in fact produce
the defect. Our law requires that the notice, whether actual or constructive, be of the very defect
that resulted in the plaintiff's injury.
