Conn. Practice Book § 10-60
Amendment by Consent, Order of Judicial Authority, or Failure To Object
(a) Except as provided in Section 10-66, a party
may amend his or her pleadings or other parts of
the record or proceedings at any time subsequent
to that stated in the preceding section in the following manner:
(1) By order of judicial authority; or
(2) By written consent of the adverse party; or
(3) By filing a request for leave to file an amendment together with the amended pleading or other
parts of the record or proceedings. The party shall
file the request and accompanying documents
after service upon each party as provided by Sections 10-12 through 10-17, and with proof of service endorsed thereon. If no party files an objection
to the request within fifteen days from the date it
is filed, the amendment shall be deemed to have
been filed by consent of the adverse party. If an
opposing party shall have objection to any part of
such request or the amendment appended thereto,
such objection in writing specifying the particular
paragraph or paragraphs to which there is objection and the reasons therefor, shall, after service
upon each party as provided by Sections 10-12
through 10-17 and with proof of service endorsed
thereon, be filed with the clerk within the time
specified above and placed upon the next short
calendar list.
(b) Any amended pleading or other part of the
record or proceedings filed pursuant to this sec -
tion or accompanying a request for leave to file
an amendment pursuant to this section shall be
accompanied by a separate document showing
the amendments to the original pleading or other
parts of the record or proceedings being amended
by using underlining to indicate new language and
by using either brackets or strikethrough to indicate deleted language.
(c) The judicial authority may restrain such
amendments so far as may be necessary to compel the parties to join issue in a reasonable time
for trial. If the amendment occasions delay in the
trial or inconvenience to the other party, the judi -
cial authority may award costs in its discretion in
favor of the other party. For the purposes of this
rule, a substituted pleading shall be considered
an amendment. (See General Statutes § 52-130
and annotations.)
