Conn. Practice Book § 13-6

(a) In any civil action, in any probate appeal, or

in any administrative appeal where the judicial

authority finds it reasonably probable that evidence outside the record will be required, any

party may serve in accordance with Sections 10-

12 through 10-17 written interrogatories, which

may be in electronic format, upon any other party

to be answered by the party served. Written interrogatories may be served upon any party without

leave of the judicial authority at any time after the

return day. Except as provided in subsection (d) or

where the interrogatories are served electronically

as provided in Section 10-13 and in a format that

allows the recipient to electronically insert the

answers in the transmitted document, the party

serving interrogatories shall leave sufficient space

following each interrogatory in which the party

to whom the interrogatories are directed can insert

the answer. In the event that an answer requires

more space than that provided on interrogatories

that were not served electronically and in a format

that allows the recipient to electronically insert the

answers in the transmitted document, the answer

shall be continued on a separate sheet of paper

which shall be attached to the completed answers.

(b) Interrogatories may relate to any matters

which can be inquired into under Sections 13-2

through 13-5, and the answers may be used at

trial to the extent permitted by the rules of evi -

dence. In all personal injury actions alleging liability based on the operation or ownership of a motor

vehicle or alleging liability based on the owner -

ship, maintenance or control of real property, or

in actions claiming a loss of consortium or unin -

sured/underinsured motorist coverage benefits,

the interrogatories shall be limited to those set

forth in Forms 201, 202, 203, 208, 210, 212, 213

and/or 214 of the rules of practice, unless upon

motion, the judicial authority determines that such

interrogatories are inappropriate or inadequate in

the particular action. These forms are set forth in

the Appendix of Forms in this volume. Unless the

judicial authority orders otherwise, the frequency

of use of interrogatories in all actions except those

for which interrogatories have been set forth in

Forms 201, 202, 203, 208, 210, 212, 213, 214,

218, 220 and/or 221 of the rules of practice is

not limited.

(c) In all actions alleging medical negligence,

the interrogatories shall be limited to: (1) those

set forth in Forms 218, 220, and 221 of the rules

of practice and contained in the Appendix of

Forms in this volume to which no objections shall

be allowed and (2) twenty additional interrogato -

ries as of right, which may not contain subparts.

The party to whom the additional twenty as of

right interrogatories are directed may file spe -

cific, individual objections to each additional as of

right interrogatory.

(d) The standard interrogatories in civil actions,

including standard and as of right additional interrogatories in medical negligence actions, are

intended to address discovery needs in most

cases in which their use is mandated, but they do

not preclude any party from moving for permission

to serve such additional discovery as may be necessary in any particular case as contemplated by

Section 13-2.

(e) In lieu of serving the interrogatories set forth

in Forms 201, 202, 203, 208, 210, 212, 213, 214,

218, 220, and/or 221 of the rules of practice on

a party who is represented by counsel, the moving

party may serve on such party a notice of interrogatories, which shall not include the actual interrogatories to be answered, but shall instead set forth

the number of the Practice Book form containing

such interrogatories and the name of the party to

whom the interrogatories are directed. The party

to whom such notice is directed shall in his or her

response set forth each interrogatory immediately

followed by that party’s answer thereto.

(f) The party serving interrogatories or the

notice of interrogatories shall not file them with

the court.

(g) Unless leave of court is granted, the instructions to Forms 201 through 203 are to be used

for all nonstandard interrogatories.
