Conn. Practice Book § 13-19

In any action to foreclose or to discharge any

mortgage or lien or to quiet title, or in any action

upon any written contract, in which there is an

appearance by an attorney for any defendant, the

plaintiff may at any time file and serve in accordance with Sections 10-12 through 10-17 a written

demand that such attorney present to the court,

to become a part of the file in such case, a writing

signed by the attorney stating whether he or she

has reason to believe and does believe that there

exists a bona fide defense to the plaintiff’s action

and whether such defense will be made, together

with a general statement of the nature or substance of such defense. If the defendant fails to

disclose a defense within ten days of the filing of

such demand in any action to foreclose a mortgage or lien or to quiet title, or in any action upon

any written contract, the plaintiff may file a written

motion that a default be entered against the

defendant by reason of the failure of the defendant

to disclose a defense. If no disclosure of defense

has been filed, the judicial authority may order

judgment upon default to be entered for the plaintiff at the time the motion is heard or thereafter,

provided that in either event a separate motion

for such judgment has been filed. The motions

for default and for judgment upon default may

be served and filed simultaneously but shall be

separate motions.
