Conn. Practice Book § 12-2
Transfer of Action Filed in Wrong Location of Correct Court
A clerk of the court of a judicial district or geographical area should not accept a civil cause
which is made returnable to a judicial district or
geographical area of which such person is not the
clerk. A clerk who does accept and enter such a
civil cause shall, upon discovery of the error, bring
the matter to the attention of the court. The judicial
authority shall then order the plaintiff to file a
motion to transfer with such notice to the defendant as the judicial authority may direct. If the plaintiff complies, the motion to transfer shall be
granted; but if the plaintiff fails to comply with the
order of the judicial authority within a reasonable
time, the judicial authority shall dismiss the action
with costs.
