Conn. Practice Book § 10-51
Several Special Defenses
Where several matters of defense are pleaded,
each must refer to the cause of action which it
is intended to answer, and be separately stated
and designated as a separate defense, as, First
Defense, Second Defense, etc. Where the com -
plaint or counterclaim is for more than one cause
of action, set forth in several counts, each sepa -
rate matter of defense should be preceded by
a designation of the cause of action which it is
designed to meet, in this manner: First Defense
to First Count, Second Defense to First Count,
First Defense to Second Count, and so on. Any
statement of a matter of defense resting in part
upon facts pleaded in any preceding statement in
the same answer may refer to those facts as thus
recited, without otherwise repeating them.
