Conn. Practice Book § 10-13
Method of Service
Service upon the attorney or upon a self-represented party, except service pursuant to Section
10-12 (c), may be by delivering a copy or by mailing it to the last known address of the attorney or
party. Delivery of a copy within this section means
handing it to the attorney or to the party; or leaving
it at the attorney’s office with a person in charge
thereof; or, if there is no one in charge, leaving it
in a conspicuous place therein; or, if the office is
closed or the person to be served has no office,
leaving it at the usual place of abode. Delivery of
a copy within this rule may also mean electronic
delivery to the last known electronic address of
the attorney or party, provided that electronic
delivery to a self-represented party was consented
to in writing by that party. An attorney or self-represented party who files a document electronically with the court must serve it electronically on
(1) any self-represented party who consented in
writing to electronic delivery under this section
and (2) all attorneys who are not exempt from e-filing. Any attorney who is not exempt from e-filing
is required to accept electronic delivery. Service
by mail is complete upon mailing. Service by electronic delivery is complete upon sending the electronic notice unless the party making service
learns that the attempted service did not reach
the electronic address of the person to be served.
Service pursuant to Section 10-12 (c) shall be
made in the same manner as an original writ and
complaint is served or as ordered by the judicial
authority.
